// Tree traversal using recursion in C# | |
// | |
// We want to traverse the following tree, which may be arbitrarily | |
// deep/wide. These parameters are not known until runtime. | |
// | |
// root | |
// - branch1 | |
// - leaf1 | |
// - leaf2 | |
// - branch2 | |
// - branch3 | |
// - leaf3 | |
void Main() | |
{ | |
// Entry Point | |
var root = CreateTestTree(); | |
PrintNodeAndChildren(root, 0); | |
} | |
// Recursive method to print out a tree of arbitrary height/width | |
public void PrintNodeAndChildren(Node currentNode, int indentLevel){ | |
var indent = new string('-', indentLevel); | |
Console.WriteLine("{0}{1}",indent, currentNode.Name); | |
foreach (Node child in currentNode.Children) | |
{ | |
PrintNodeAndChildren(child, indentLevel+1); | |
} | |
} | |
// Just creates some data for us to mess with | |
Node CreateTestTree(){ | |
var root = new Node("Root"); | |
var branch1 = new Node("Branch 1"); | |
var branch2 = new Node("Branch 2"); | |
var branch3 = new Node("Branch 3"); | |
var leaf1 = new Node("Leaf 1"); | |
var leaf2 = new Node("Leaf 2"); | |
var leaf3 = new Node("Leaf 3"); | |
var leaf4 = new Node("Leaf 4"); | |
var leaf5 = new Node("Leaf 5"); | |
root.Children.Add(branch1); | |
branch1.Children.Add(leaf1); | |
branch1.Children.Add(leaf2); | |
branch1.Children.Add(leaf4); | |

branch2.Children.Add(branch3); | |
branch2.Children.Add(leaf5); | |
