tree insert algorithm binary tree code example

Example 1: bst to insert tree

struct Node
{
    int data;
    Node *left, *right;
};
 
// Function to create a new binary tree node having a given key
Node* newNode(int key)
{
    Node* node = new Node;
    node->data = key;
    node->left = node->right = nullptr;
 
    return node;
}
 
// Function to perform inorder traversal on the tree
void inorder(Node* root)
{
    if (root == nullptr) {
        return;
    }
 
    inorder(root->left);
    cout << root->data << " ";
    inorder(root->right);
}
 
// Recursive function to insert a key into a BST
Node* insert(Node* root, int key)
{
    // if the root is null, create a new node and return it
    if (root == nullptr) {
        return newNode(key);
    }
 
    // if the given key is less than the root node, recur for the left subtree
    if (key < root->data) {
        root->left = insert(root->left, key);
    }
    // if the given key is more than the root node, recur for the right subtree
    else {
        root->right = insert(root->right, key);
    }
 
    return root;
}

Example 2: insert binary search tree

void BSNode::insert(std::string value) {

	if (this->_data == value) {
		_count++;
		return;
	}

	if (this->_data > value) {
		if (this->getLeft() == nullptr) {
			this->_left = new BSNode(value);
		}
		this->getLeft()->insert(value);
		return;
	}

	if (this->getRight() == nullptr) {
		this->_right = new BSNode(value);
		return;
	}
	this->getRight()->insert(value);
}
