Click For Summary
To determine if a binary tree is full, the algorithm should check that every node is either a leaf or has two children. This can be achieved through a recursive traversal of the tree. For each node, evaluate whether it is a leaf or has two children, and combine these results using a logical AND operation. This approach ensures that all nodes meet the criteria for the tree to be classified as full.

Hello! (Smile)

I want to write an algorithm, that checks if a binary tree is full or not.

Could you give me a hint how I could do this? (Thinking)

If every node is either a leaf, or has two children, then it's a full tree. So traverse the tree recursively, and for each node, compute the logical expression (IsLeaf OR HasTwoChildren), then AND all the results together.
