# Python Program to Find the Sum of all Nodes in a Tree

PythonServer Side ProgrammingProgramming

When it is required to get the sum of all the nodes in a Tree, a ‘Tree_structure’ class is created, methods to set a root value, and to add other values are defined. It also has a method to determine the sum of all elements of a Tree structure. Various options are given that the user can select. Based on the user’s choice, the operation is performed on the Tree elements.

Below is a demonstration of the same −

## Example

Live Demo

class Tree_structure:
def __init__(self, data=None):
self.key = data
self.children = []

def set_root(self, data):
self.key = data

self.children.append(node)

def search_val(self, key):
if self.key == key:
return self
for child in self.children:
temp = child.search(key)
if temp is not None:
return temp
return None

def summation_nodes(self):
sum_val = self.key
for child in self.children:
sum_val = sum_val + child.summation_nodes()
return sum_val

tree = None

print('summation')
print('quit')

while True:
my_input = input('What would you like to do? ').split()

operation = my_input[0].strip().lower()
data = int(my_input[1])
newNode = Tree_structure(data)
sub_op = my_input[2].strip().lower()
if sub_op == 'at':
tree = newNode
elif sub_op == 'below':
my_pos = my_input[3].strip().lower()
key = int(my_pos)
ref_node = None
if tree is not None:
ref_node = tree.search_val(key)
if ref_node is None:
print('No such key exists')
continue

elif operation == 'summation':
if tree is None:
print('The tree is empty')
else:
summation_val = tree.summation_nodes()
print('Sum of all the nodes is : {}'.format(summation_val))

elif operation == 'quit':
break

## Output

Menu (no duplicate keys allowed)
summation
quit
What would you like to do? add 56 at root
What would you like to do? add 45 below 56
What would you like to do? add 23 below 56
What would you like to do? summation
Sum of all the nodes is : 124
What would you like to do?

## Explanation

• The ‘Tree_structure’ class is created.

• It sets the ‘key’ to True and sets an empty list to children of tree.

• It has a ‘set_root’ function that helps set the root value for the Tree.

• A method named ‘add_vals’ is defined, that helps add an element to the Tree.

• Another method named ‘search_val’ is defined, that helps search for an element in the Tree.

• Another method named ‘summation_nodes’ is defined, that helps get the sum of all elements/nodes of the Tree.

• It is a recursive function.

• Four options are given, such as ‘add at root’, ‘add below’, ‘Summation’ and ‘quit’.

• Depending on the option given by user, the respective operation is performed.

• This output is displayed on the console.
