Are you studying binary trees for your next exam, assignment or technical interview?
Binarytree is a Python library which lets you generate, visualize, inspect and manipulate binary trees. Skip the tedious work of setting up test data, and dive straight into practising your algorithms. Heaps and BSTs (binary search trees) are also supported.
New in version 6.0.0: You can now use binarytree with Graphviz and Jupyter Notebooks (documentation):
Python 3.6+
Install via pip:
pip install binarytreeFor conda users:
conda install binarytree -c conda-forgeBinarytree uses the following class to represent a node:
class Node:
def __init__(self, value, left=None, right=None):
self.value = value # The node value (integer)
self.left = left # Left child
self.right = right # Right childGenerate and pretty-print various types of binary trees:
from binarytree import tree, bst, heap
# Generate a random binary tree and return its root node
my_tree = tree(height=3, is_perfect=False)
# Generate a random BST and return its root node
my_bst = bst(height=3, is_perfect=True)
# Generate a random max heap and return its root node
my_heap = heap(height=3, is_max=True, is_perfect=False)
# Pretty-print the trees in stdout
print(my_tree)

#Build your own trees:
from binarytree import Node
root = Node(1)
root.left = Node(2)
root.right = Node(3)
root.left.right = Node(4)
print(root)
#
# __1
# / \
# 2 3
# \
# 4
#Inspect tree properties:
from binarytree import Node
root = Node(1)
root.left = Node(2)
root.right = Node(3)
root.left.left = Node(4)
root.left.right = Node(5)
print(root)
#

}
print(root.leaves)
# [Node(3), Node(4), Node(5)]
print(root.levels)
# [[Node(1)], [Node(2), Node(3)], [Node(4), Node(5)]]Use level-order (breadth-first) indexes to manipulate nodes:
from binarytree import Node
root = Node(1) # index: 0, value: 1
root.left = Node(2) # index: 1, value: 2
root.right = Node(3) # index: 2, value: 3
root.left.right = Node(4) # index: 4, value: 4
root.left.right.left = Node(5) # index: 9, value: 5
print(root)

# 9-5
#
print(root[9])
# Node(5)
# Replace the node/subtree at index 4
root[4] = Node(6, left=Node(7), right=Node(8))
root.pprint(index=True)
#
# ______________0-1_

# 1-2_____ 2-3

#
# Delete the node/subtree at index 1
del root[1]
root.pprint(index=True)

from binarytree import Node
root = Node(1)
root.left = Node(2)
root.right = Node(3)
root.left.left = Node(4)
root.left.right = Node(5)
print(root)

print(root.inorder)
# [Node(4), Node(2), Node(5), Node(1), Node(3)]
print(root.preorder)
# [Node(1), Node(2), Node(4), Node(5), Node(3)]
print(root.postorder)
# [Node(4), Node(5), Node(2), Node(3), Node(1)]
print(root.levelorder)
# [Node(1), Node(2), Node(3), Node(4), Node(5)]
print(list(root)) # Equivalent to root.levelorder
# [Node(1), Node(2), Node(3), Node(4), Node(5)]Convert to list representations:
from binarytree import build
# Build a tree from list representation
values = [7, 3, 2, 6, 9, None, 1, 5, 8]
root = build(values)
print(root)
#
# __7

# __3 2
# / \ \
# 6 9 1
# / \
# 5 8
#
# Go back to list representation
print(root.values)
# [7, 3, 2, 6, 9, None, 1, 5, 8]Check out the documentation for more details.
