Product of all leaf nodes of binary tree in C++

Given with a binary tree containing nodes and the task is to find the product of all the leaf nodes of a given binary tree.

Leaf nodes are the end nodes which don’t have any children. In a tree, a node can act as a parent node or child node except the root node which can only be a parent node. So the nodes with right and left pointer as NULL are the leaf nodes.

Input

Output

Leaf nodes are -: 23, 34, 25
Product-: 23*34*25 = 19550

Approach

Input the node data
Traverse all the nodes starting from the root node and going to either left sub directory or right subdirectory for traversal.
Store those nodes with right and left pointer being NULL into a temporary variable to find the product.
Print the value of a temporary variable holding the multiplied values.

Algorithm

Start
Step 1 → create structure of a node and temp, next and head as pointer to a
   structure node
      struct node
         int data
         Create node *left, *right
      End
Step 2 → declare function to insert a node in a tree
   node* new_node(int data)
      Set node* temp = new node()
      Set temp→data = data
      Set temp→left = temp→right = NULL
      return temp
   End
Step 3 → Declare a function to find product of all the leaf nodes
   void leaf(node* root, int &product)
      IF (!root)
         Return
      End
      IF (!root→left && !root→right)
         Set product *= root→data
         Call leaf(root→left, product)
         Call leaf(root→right, product)
Step 4 → In main()
   Create node* root = new_node(10)
   Set root→left = new_node(20)
   Set root→left→left = new_node(30)
   Set int product = 1
   Call leaf(root, product)
   Display product
Stop

Example

Live Demo

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
//structure of a node
struct node{
   int data;
   node *left, *right;
};
//function to create a new leaf of a tree
node* new_node(int data){
   node* temp = new node();
   temp→data = data;
   temp→left = temp→right = NULL;
   return temp;
}
//function to find the product of all leaf nodes of a tree
void leaf(node* root, int &product){
   if (!root)
      return;
   if (!root→left && !root->right)
      product *= root→data;
   leaf(root→left, product);
   leaf(root→right, product);
}
int main(){
   node* root = new_node(10);
   root→left = new_node(20);
   root→left→left = new_node(30);
   root→left→right = new_node(40);
   root→right = new_node(50);
   root→right→right = new_node(60);
   root→right→left = new_node(70);
   int product = 1;
   leaf(root, product);
   cout<<"product of a leaf nodes are :"<<product;
   return 0;
}

Output

If run the above code it will generate the following output −

product of a leaf nodes are :5040000
