Print longest path in binary tree

Write a program to print longest path in binary tree.

The approach:-

1. Initialize an array with size as maximum depth of the tree.


2. Fill the node details in this array as we traverse the tree.


3. If a path is reached with maximum depth print the path and return.


4. Recursively scan the left and right sub tree.

The solution:-

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

// Node class
class Node {
public:
    Node() { mData = -1; mParent = NULL; mLeft = NULL; mRight = NULL; }
    ~Node() {}
    int data() { return mData; }
    void setData(int data) { mData = data; }
    Node* left() { return mLeft; }
    void setLeft(Node* left) { mLeft = left; }
    Node* right() { return mRight; }
    void setRight(Node* right) { mRight = right; }
    Node* parent() { return mParent; }
    void setParent(Node* parent) { mParent = parent; }
private:
    int mData;
    Node* mLeft;
    Node* mRight;
    Node* mParent;
};

// Tree class
class Tree {
public:
    Tree() { mRoot = NULL; }
    ~Tree() {}
    Node* root() { return mRoot; }
    void addNode(int data);
    int maxdepth(Node *node);
    void print_largest_path(Node* node, int* path,
                            int len, int depth);

private:
    void addNode(Node* node, int data);
    void print_array(int* path, int len);

private:
    Node* mRoot;
};

void Tree::addNode(int data) {
    if ( mRoot == NULL ) {
        Node* tmp = new Node();
        tmp->setData(data);
        mRoot = tmp;
    }
    else {
        addNode(mRoot, data);
    }
}

void Tree::addNode(Node* node, int data) {
    if ( data <= node->data() ) {
        if ( node->left() != NULL )
            addNode(node->left(), data);
        else {
            Node* tmp = new Node();
            tmp->setData(data);
            tmp->setParent(node);
            node->setLeft(tmp);
        }
    }
    else {
        if ( node->right() != NULL )
            addNode(node->right(), data);
        else {
            Node* tmp = new Node();
            tmp->setData(data);
            tmp->setParent(node);
            node->setRight(tmp);
        }
    }
}

int Tree::maxdepth(Node *node) {
    if ( node )
        return 1 + std::max(maxdepth(node->left()),
                            maxdepth(node->right()));
    else
        return 0;
}

void Tree::print_array(int* path, int len) {
    for ( int i = 0; i < len; i++ )
        cout << path[i] << " ";
    cout << endl;
}

void Tree::print_largest_path(Node* node, int* path, int len, int depth) {
    if ( node == NULL ) return;

    path[len] = node->data();
    len++;
    depth--;

    if ( depth == 0 ) {
        // max depth reached
        print_array(path, len);
        return;
    }

    print_largest_path(node->left(), path, len, depth);
    print_largest_path(node->right(), path, len, depth);
}

// Test program
int main() {
    Tree* t = new Tree();
    t->addNode(500);
    t->addNode(300);
    t->addNode(600);
    t->addNode(550);
    t->addNode(700);
    t->addNode(750);
    t->addNode(200);
    t->addNode(150);
    t->addNode(250);
    t->addNode(350);
    t->addNode(800);

    int d = t->maxdepth(t->root());
    int* path = (int*) malloc(sizeof(int) * d);
    int len = 0;
    t->print_largest_path(t->root(), path, len, d);

    delete path;
    delete t;
}

Output:-

500 600 700 750 800
