If you want to practice data structure and algorithm programs, you can go through 100+ java coding interview questions.
This is 7th part of java binary tree tutorial.
In this post, we will see about program to print leaf nodes in a binary tree in java
Algorithm-
Steps for counting number of leaf nodes are:
- If node is null then return 0
- If encounterd leaf node(i.e. node.left is null and node.right is null) then print the node.
- Recursively visit leaf subtree and right subtree.
Code for recursion will be:

// Recursive Solution // print leaf nodes public static void printLeafNodes(TreeNode node) { if(node==null) return; if(node.left == null && node.right == null) { System.out.printf("%d ",node.data); } printLeafNodes(node.left); printLeafNodes(node.right); } |
Example:

Lets create java program for counting number of leaf nodes:
