tree non recursive preorder algorithm for traversal code example

Example: preorder without recursion

void iterativePreorder(node *root) 
{ 
    // Base Case 
    if (root == NULL) 
       return; 
  
    // Create an empty stack and push root to it 
    stack<node *> nodeStack; 
    nodeStack.push(root); 
    while (nodeStack.empty() == false) 
    { 
        // Pop the top item from stack and print it 
        struct node *node = nodeStack.top(); 
        printf ("%d ", node->data); 
        nodeStack.pop(); 
  
        // Push right and left children of the popped node to stack 
        if (node->right) 
            nodeStack.push(node->right); 
        if (node->left) 
            nodeStack.push(node->left); 
    } 
}
