@Ujjk29 is it possible that you can share what you learned? I am a little confused about how they complete the order of the nodes too. thanks

thank you. im going to solve this problem by recursion and using struct too.

Very nicely written code.

Thanks I got the whole question and algo.

Can you share your knowledge?

Can you please explain the method you have applied to get the height of tree?
