Grokking the Coding Interview Patterns in C++

Serialize and Deserialize Binary Tree

Understand how to convert a binary tree into a serialized list of integers and then reconstruct the exact tree from that list. Explore depth-first search methods to effectively serialize and deserialize trees, ensuring identical structure and values, which is crucial for coding interviews.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Serialize a given binary tree to a file and deserialize it back to a tree. Make sure that the original and the deserialized trees are identical.

  • Serialize: Write the tree to a file.

  • Deserialize: Read from a file and reconstruct the tree in memory.

Serialize the tree into a list of integers, and then, deserialize it back from the list to a tree. For simplicity’s sake, there’s no need to write the list to the files.

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree
