python depth search code example

Example 1: python depth first search

# left to right, pre-order depth first tree search, iterative. O(n) time/space
def depthFirstSearch(root):
    st = [root]
    while st:
        current = st.pop()
        print(current)
        if current.right is not None: st.append(current.right) 
        if current.left is not None: st.append(current.left)

Example 2: python depth first search

# left to right, pre-order depth first tree search, recursive. O(n) time/space
def depthFirstSearchRec(root):
    if root == None: return
    print(root)
    depthFirstSearch(root.left)
    depthFirstSearch(root.right)
