Check If a Binary Tree Is an Even-Odd Tree
Even-Odd Tree A binary tree is called an even-odd tree if all the nodes at the even level (taking root node at level 0) have even values and all the nodes at the odd level have odd values.
Problem Statement
Given a binary tree. The task is to check if the binary tree is an even-odd tree or not.
Sample Example 1
Input
6
/ \
3 7
/ \
2 8
/ \ /
11 3 9
Output
True
Explanation
Level 0(even) = Node value is 6 -> even
Level 1(odd) = Node values are 3 -> odd and 7 -> odd
Level 2(even) = Node values are 2 -> even and 8 -> even
Level 3(odd) = Node values are 11 -> odd, 3 -> odd and 9 -> odd
So, the given tree is an even-odd tree.
Sample Example 2
Input
5
/ \
4 7
/
2
Output
False
Explanation
Level 0(even) = Node value is 5 -> odd - False
Level 1(odd) = Node values are 4 -> even and 7 -> odd - False
Level 2(even) = Node value is 2 -> even
So, the given tree is not an even-odd tree.
Approach 1: Depth-First Search (DFS) Approach
DFS solution to the problem is to check at each level of the search of the tree the node values. If the node values and level for all nodes are both even or both odd, then return true else false.
Pseudocode
isEvenOddTree(node, level):
if node is null:
return true
# Check if the node's value is valid for its level
if level is even:
if node.value is not even:
return false
else:
if node.value is not odd:
return false
# Recursively check the left and right subtrees
leftResult = isEvenOddTree(node.left, level + 1)
rightResult = isEvenOddTree(node.right, level + 1)
return leftResult and rightResult
isEvenOddTree(root):
return isEvenOddTree(root, 0)
Example: C++ Implementation
Below is the C++ Implemention of the proposed DFS solution.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct TreeNode {
int val;
TreeNode* left;
TreeNode* right;
TreeNode(int val) : val(val), left(nullptr), right(nullptr) {}
};
bool is_even_odd_tree_helper(TreeNode* node, int level){
if (!node) {
return true;
}
// Check if the node's value is valid for its level
if (level % 2 == 0) { // Even level
if (node->val % 2 != 0) {
return false;
}
} else { // Odd level
if (node->val % 2 == 0) {
return false;
}
}
// Recursively check the left and right subtrees
return is_even_odd_tree_helper(node->left, level + 1) &&
is_even_odd_tree_helper(node->right, level + 1);
}
bool is_even_odd_tree(TreeNode* root){
return is_even_odd_tree_helper(root, 0);
}
int main(){
// Test case:
// 4
// / \
// 3 7
// / \ \
// 4 6 2
TreeNode* root = new TreeNode(4);
root->left = new TreeNode(3);
root->right = new TreeNode(7);
root->left->left = new TreeNode(4);
root->left->right = new TreeNode(6);
root->right->right = new TreeNode(2);
if (is_even_odd_tree(root)) {
std::cout << "The tree is an Even-Odd Tree.\n";
} else {
std::cout << "The tree is NOT an Even-Odd Tree.\n";
}
// Clean up memory
delete root->left->left;
delete root->left->right;
delete root->right->left;
delete root->right->right;
delete root->left;
delete root->right;
delete root;
return 0;
}
Output
The tree is an Even-Odd Tree.
Time Complexity O(N), where N is the number of nodes in binary tree.
Space Complexity O(N), where N is the number of nodes in binary tree.
Approach 2: Breadth-First Search (BFS) Approach
BFS solution to the problem is to check at each level of the search of the tree the node values. If the node values and level for all nodes are both even or both odd, then return true else false.
Pseudocode
function is_even_odd_tree(root):
if root is null:
return true
queue = Queue()
queue.push(root)
is_even_level = true
while queue is not empty:
level_size = queue.size()
prev_val = INT_MIN if is_even_level else INT_MAX
for i from 0 to level_size - 1:
node = queue.front()
queue.pop()
// Check if the node's value is valid for its level
if is_even_level: // Even level
if node.val is odd:
return false
else: // Odd level
if node.val is even:
return false
prev_val = node.val
if node.left is not null:
queue.push(node.left)
if node.right is not null:
queue.push(node.right)
is_even_level = not is_even_level
return true
Example: C++ Implemention
Below is the C++ Implemention of the proposed BFS solution.
#include <iostream>
#include <queue>
#include <climits>
using namespace std;
struct TreeNode {
int val;
TreeNode* left;
TreeNode* right;
TreeNode(int val) : val(val), left(nullptr), right(nullptr) {}
};
bool is_even_odd_tree(TreeNode* root){
if (!root) {
return true;
}
std::queue<TreeNode*> q;
q.push(root);
bool is_even_level = true;
while (!q.empty()) {
int level_size = q.size();
int prev_val = is_even_level ? INT_MIN : INT_MAX;
for (int i = 0; i < level_size; ++i) {
TreeNode* node = q.front();
q.pop();
// Check if the node's value is valid for its level
if (is_even_level) { // Even level
if (node->val % 2 != 0) {
return false;
}
} else { // Odd level
if (node->val % 2 == 0) {
return false;
}
}
prev_val = node->val;
if (node->left) {
q.push(node->left);
}
if (node->right) {
q.push(node->right);
}
}
is_even_level = !is_even_level;
}
return true;
}
int main(){
// Test case:
// 4
// / \
// 3 7
// / \ / \
// 2 8 8 21
TreeNode* root = new TreeNode(4);
root->left = new TreeNode(3);
root->right = new TreeNode(7);
root->left->left = new TreeNode(2);
root->left->right = new TreeNode(8);
root->right->left = new TreeNode(8);
root->right->right = new TreeNode(21);
if (is_even_odd_tree(root)) {
std::cout << "The tree is an Even-Odd Tree.\n";
} else {
std::cout << "The tree is NOT an Even-Odd Tree.\n";
}
// Clean up memory
delete root->left->left;
delete root->left->right;
delete root->right->left;
delete root->right->right;
delete root->left;
delete root->right;
delete root;
return 0;
}
Output
The tree is NOT an Even-Odd Tree.
Time Complexity O(N), N is the number of nodes in the binary tree.
Space Complexity O(w), w is the number of nodes in a level with maximum nodes.
Conclusion
In conclusion, in order to determine if a binary tree is an even-odd tree or not, we can perform two types of traversals, that is, Depth First Search and Breadth First Search each having the same time complexities.
