This exercise is mostly suitable for students
typedef struct
{
Btree tree;
int level;
} element;
int width(Btree A)
{
int current_count = 0, max_count = 0, current_level = 1;
queue q;
element E, X;
if (A == NULL)
return 0;
q = CreateQueue();
E.tree = A;
E.level = 1;
EnQueue(&q,E);
while(Front(q,&E))
{
if (E.level == current_level) current_count++ ;
else
{
if (current_count > max_count)
max_count = current_count;
current_count = 1;
current_level = E.level;
}
DeQueue(&q);
if (E.tree->left) {X.tree = E.tree->left; X.level = E.level+1; EnQueue(&q,X);}
if (E.tree->right) {X.tree = E.tree->right; X.level = E.level+1; EnQueue(&q,X);}
}
if (current_count > max_count)
max_count = current_count;
return max_count;
