Understanding insertion of a child


Inserting a child is an operation in which we insert a new node with the given data as the child of a node with the given value in a binary tree. The operation is not as straightforward as inserting at the root and involves two major steps.

  • Step 1: Search for the node with the given value.
  • Step 2: Create and insert the new node.

Step 1: Search for the node with the given value

The first step in inserting a new node as the child of a node with the given value in a binary tree is to find the node, after which the newly created node will be inserted. We can traverse the binary tree to find this node using any traversal operations we have learned.
