### tree tranversals

<br>

* **breath-first search**:
  	- similar to pre-order, but work with queue (level order problem)
* **depth-first search**:
	* if the depth of the tree is too large, stack overflow might happen, therefore iterative solutions might be better.
 	* work with stacks
	* **in-order**:
 		* left -> node -> right
	* **pre-order** 
 		* node -> left -> right
   		* top-down (parameters are passed down to children).
	* **post-order**
 		* left -> right -> node 
 		* bottom-up solution (if you know the answer of the children, can you concatenate the answer of the nodes?):
		- deletion process is always post-order: when you delete a node, you will delete its left child and its right child before you delete the node itself.
		- also, post-order is used in mathematical expressions as it's easier to write a program to parse a post-order expression. using a stack, each time when you meet a operator, you can just pop 2 elements from the stack, calculate the result and push the result back into the stack.
