Sink even nodes in Binary Tree

Given a Binary Tree having odd and even elements, sink all its even valued nodes such that no node with an even value could be a parent of a node with an odd value. 

There can be multiple outputs for a given tree, we need to print one of them. It is always possible to convert a tree (Note that a node with odd nodes and all even nodes follow the rule)

Examples:  

Input: 
       1
     /    \
    5       8
  /  \     /  \
 2    4   9    10
Output: 
1 
5 9 
2 4 8 10

Level order traversal after
sinking all the nodes

Input: 
  4
 /  \
2    1
Output: 
4
2 1
Explanation: 
In the first case
Given tree
       4
    /    \
   2      1

There are two trees possible
       1            1
    /    \   OR   /   \
   2      4      4     2 
  

In the second example also,
Given tree
       1
     /    \
    5       8
  /  \     /  \
 2    4   9    10

There are more than one tree
that can satisfy the condition
      1                 1
   /    \            /    \     
  5       9    OR   5      9   
 /  \    /  \      /  \   / \   
2   4  8   10    4    2  8  10

Approach: 

  • Basically, it is required to swap the even value of a node with the odd value of one of its descendants.
  • The idea is to traverse the tree in a postorder fashion.
  • Since we process in postorder, for each even node encountered, its left and right subtrees are already balanced (sinked).
  • Check if it’s an even node and its left or right child has an odd value. If the odd value is found, swap the node’s data with that of the odd child node and call the procedure on the odd child to balance the subtree.
  • If both children have even values, that means that all their descendants are even.

Below is the implementation of the idea: 

C++




//C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// A binary tree node
struct Node {
    int data;
    Node *left, *right;
};
 
// Helper function to create a new node
Node* newNode(int key)
{
    Node* node = new Node;
    node->data = key;
    node->left = node->right = NULL;
    return node;
}
 
// Helper function to check
// if node is leaf node
bool isLeaf(Node* root)
{
    return (root->left == NULL && root->right == NULL);
}
 
// A recursive method to sink a tree with even root
// This method assumes that the subtrees are
// already sinked. This method is similar to
// Heapify of Heap-Sort
void sink(Node* root)
{
    // If NULL or is a leaf, do nothing
    if (root == NULL || isLeaf(root))
        return;
 
    // if left subtree exists and
    // left child is even
    if (root->left && (root->left->data & 1)) {
        // swap root's data with left child
        // and fix left subtree
        swap(root->data, root->left->data);
        sink(root->left);
    }
    // if right subtree exists and
    // right child is even
    else if (root->right && (root->right->data & 1)) {
        // swap root's data with right child
        // and fix right subtree
        swap(root->data, root->right->data);
        sink(root->right);
    }
}
 
// Function to sink all even nodes to
// the bottom of binary tree. It does
// a postorder traversal and calls sink()
// if any even node is found
void sinkEvenNodes(Node* root)
{
    // If NULL or is a leaf, do nothing
    if (root == NULL || isLeaf(root))
        return;
 
    // Process left and right subtrees
    // before this node
    sinkEvenNodes(root->left);
    sinkEvenNodes(root->right);
 
    // If root is even, sink it
    if (!(root->data & 1))
        sink(root);
}
 
// Helper function to do Level Order Traversal
// of Binary Tree level by level. This function
// is used here only for showing modified tree.
void printLevelOrder(Node* root)
{
    queue<Node*> q;
    q.push(root);
 
    // Do Level order traversal
    while (!q.empty()) {
        int nodeCount = q.size();
 
        // Print one level at a time
        while (nodeCount) {
            Node* node = q.front();
            cout << node->data << " ";
            q.pop();
            if (node->left != NULL)
                q.push(node->left);
            if (node->right != NULL)
                q.push(node->right);
            nodeCount--;
        }
        // Line separator for levels
        cout << endl;
    }
}
 
int main()
{
    /* Constructed binary tree is
    1
    / \
    5 8
    / \ / \
    2 4 9 10 */
    Node* root = newNode(1);
    root->left = newNode(5);
    root->right = newNode(8);
    root->left->left = newNode(2);
    root->left->right = newNode(4);
    root->right->left = newNode(9);
    root->right->right = newNode(10);
    sinkEvenNodes(root);
 
    printLevelOrder(root);
 
    return 0;
