- Q1. Find the leaves of the tree.
- Ans.
Leaves of a tree are the nodes with no children in a tree data structure.
Traverse the tree and identify nodes with no children.
Use depth-first search or breadth-first search algorithms to find leaves.
Examples: In a binary tree, leaves are nodes with no left or right child.
In a general tree, leaves are nodes with no children in their child list.
- Q2. Find the LCA of tree.
- Ans.
The Lowest Common Ancestor (LCA) of a tree is the shared ancestor of two nodes farthest from the root.
Start from the root and traverse the tree to find the paths from the root to the two nodes.
Compare the paths to find the last common node between them, which is the LCA.
If one of the nodes is an ancestor of the other, then the ancestor node is the LCA.
