Construct a Binary Tree from String with bracket representation | Set 2

Last Updated : 23 Aug, 2021

Given a string s consisting of parentheses {'(' and ')'} and integers, the task is to construct a Binary Tree from it and print its Preorder traversal.

Examples:

Input: S = "1(2)(3)"
Output: 1 2 3
Explanation: The corresponding binary tree is as follows:
1
/ \
2 3

Input: "4(2(3)(1))(6(5))"
Output: 4 2 3 1 6 5
Explanation:
The corresponding binary tree is as follows:

4
/ \
2 6
/ \ /
3 1 5

Recursive Approach: Refer to the previous article to solve the problem recursively.
Time Complexity: O(N²)
Auxiliary Space: O(N)

Approach: This problem can be solved using stack data structure. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

Update the character at position 0 as root of the binary tree and initialize a stack stk.
Iterate in the range [1, N-1] using the variable i:
- If '(' is encountered, push the root to the stack stk.
- Otherwise, if ')' is encountered update root as the topmost element of the stack and pop the topmost element.
- Otherwise, if the character is a number, then, branch into the part that is null (left or right).
At the end of the above steps, return the root node of the binary tree.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Build a tree node having left and
// right pointers set to null initially
struct Node {
    Node* left;
    Node* right;
    int data;

    // Constructor to set the data of
    // the newly created tree node
    Node(int element)
    {
        data = element;
        this->left = nullptr;
        this->right = nullptr;
    }
};

// Utility function to print
// preorder traversal of the tree
void preorder(Node* root)
{
    if (!root)
        return;

    cout << root->data << " ";
    preorder(root->left);
    preorder(root->right);
}

// Function to construct a
// tree using bracket notation
Node* constructTree(string s)
{

    // First character is the root of the tree
    Node* root = new Node(s[0] - '0');

    // Stack used to store the
    // previous root elements
    stack<Node*> stk;

    // Iterate over remaining characters
    for (int i = 1; i < s.length(); i++) {

        // If current character is '('
        if (s[i] == '(') {

            // Push root into stack
            stk.push(root);
        }

        // If current character is ')'
        else if (s[i] == ')') {

            // Make root the top most
            // element in the stack
            root = stk.top();

            // Remove the top node
            stk.pop();
        }

        // If current character is a number
        else {

            // If left is null, then put the new
            // node to the left and move to the
            // left of the root
            if (root->left == nullptr) {

                Node* left = new Node(s[i] - '0');
                root->left = left;
                root = root->left;
            }

            // Otherwise, if right is null, then
            // put the new node to the right and
            // move to the right of the root
            else if (root->right == nullptr) {

                Node* right = new Node(s[i] - '0');
                root->right = right;
                root = root->right;
            }
        }
    }

    // Return the root
    return root;
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    // Input
    string s = "4(2(3)(1))(6(5))";

    // Function calls
    Node* root = constructTree(s);
    preorder(root);

    return 0;
}
