Binary Tree Inorder Traversal in Python

Define a TreeNode class and recursively print in-order traversal (left, node, right) of a binary tree.

binary-tree recursion traversal
Python
class TreeNode:
    def __init__(self, val=0, left=None, right=None):
        self.val = val
        self.left = left
        self.right = right


def inorder_traversal(root):
    return inorder_traversal(root.left) + [root.val] + inorder_traversal(root.right) if root else []

Depth First Search Traversal Order in Python

Recursive depth-first search that returns the visit order of nodes in an adjacency list graph starting from a given node.

dfs graph traversal
Python
def dfs_order(adj, start):
    visited = set()
    order = []

    def dfs(node):
        visited.add(node)
        order.append(node)
        for neighbor in adj.get(node, []):
            if neighbor not in visited:
                dfs(neighbor)

    dfs(start)
    return order

How to Get the Breadth-First Traversal Order of a Graph in Python

Performs a breadth-first search on an adjacency list and returns the order nodes are visited, using a deque for efficient queue operations.

graph bfs queue
Python
from collections import deque

def bfs_order(adjacency, start=0):
    """Return the order nodes are visited in a breadth-first traversal."""
    visited = set()
    order = []
    queue = deque([start])
    visited.add(start)

    while queue:
        node = queue.popleft()
        order.append(node)
