Solution Review: Number of Elements

Explore how to determine the total number of nodes in a binary tree by recursively summing nodes in left and right subtrees. Learn the implementation details, recursive logic, and analyze the solution’s time and space complexity of O(n). This lesson helps you master node counting within tree data structures in Go.

We'll cover the following...

Solution

We find the number of nodes (or all the elements) in a binary tree by summing the following

  • The number of nodes in the right subtree.
  • The number of nodes in the left subtree.
  • Adding 1 to the sum of the above.
