Tree Traversal Forest
Walk a binary tree in pre-order, in-order and post-order, and use a binary search tree to keep names sorted.
🎯 You will learn to
- Traverse a tree three ways
- Insert into a BST
- See why in-order gives sorted output
🧪 Live environment
Runs entirely in your browser: nothing is installed, no real cloud account is used and your code is never sent to our server.

✅ Steps & checkpoints
🗺️ Binary search tree walks
Smaller names go left, larger right; in-order traversal visits them in sorted order.
The 2D diagram shows the exact flow, ports and trust boundaries. The 3D scene is a concept view of the same parts; packets travel along the same arrows.
🤔 Think about it
What shape of BST makes searching as slow as a list?
🛡️ Safety & cost
Simulations and in-browser runtimes only.
🧹 Cleanup
Nothing to clean up.
