How to insert elements to n array tree structure recursively if we know connection between parent and...












1















It is given that A is root and its children are B, C, D
and also we know that B has a child E.
My question is how to insert elements recursively instead of adding element by element if we know connection between them?



class Node { 
public:
string key;
vector<Node*> child;

// constructor
Node(string data)
{
key = data;
}
};
//main
Node* root = new Node("A");
(root->child).push_back(new Node("B"));
(root->child).push_back(new Node("C"));
(root->child).push_back(new Node("D"));
(root->child[0]->child).push_back(new Node("E"));

          You can move recursively over the tree and add you element when find the parent node.



          Consider this function:



          bool insert(string s, string t, Node * root) { // will return true is success
          if (root->key == s) { // found the parent -> insert the new node
          (root->child).push_back(new Node(t));
          return true;
          }
          bool ans = false;
          for( int i =0; i< (root->child).size();i++){
          ans |= insert(s, t, root->child[i]); recursive call to all the children
          }
          return ans;
          }


          Now when using it in the main:



          int main()
          {
          Node* root = new Node("A");
          cout << "status adding B to A: " << insert("A", "B", root) << endl; // return true
          cout << "status adding E to G: " << insert("G", "E", root) << endl; // return false
          cout << "status adding E to B: " << insert("B", "E", root) << endl; // return true
          return 0;
          }


          Hope that helps!
