如果使用数组来支持二叉树，则可以用代数方法确定下一个节点。如果I是一个节点，那么它的子节点可以在2i + 1(左节点)和2i + 2(右节点)处找到。节点的下一个邻居由i + 1给出，除非i是2的幂

下面是在数组支持的二叉搜索树上实现宽度优先搜索的伪代码。这假设一个固定大小的数组，因此一个固定深度的树。它将查看无父节点，并可能创建难以管理的大堆栈。

bintree-bfs(bintree, elt, i)
    if (i == LENGTH)
        return false

    else if (bintree[i] == elt)
        return true

    else 
        return bintree-bfs(bintree, elt, i+1)        

Java中简单的BFS和DFS递归: 只需要在堆栈/队列中推送/提供树的根节点并调用这些函数。

public static void breadthFirstSearch(Queue queue) {

    if (queue.isEmpty())
        return;

    Node node = (Node) queue.poll();

    System.out.println(node + " ");

    if (node.right != null)
        queue.offer(node.right);

    if (node.left != null)
        queue.offer(node.left);

    breadthFirstSearch(queue);
}

public static void depthFirstSearch(Stack stack) {

    if (stack.isEmpty())
        return;

    Node node = (Node) stack.pop();

    System.out.println(node + " ");

    if (node.right != null)
        stack.push(node.right);

    if (node.left != null)
        stack.push(node.left);

    depthFirstSearch(stack);
}

愚蠢的方式:

template<typename T>
struct Node { Node* left; Node* right; T value; };

template<typename T, typename P>
bool searchNodeDepth(Node<T>* node, Node<T>** result, int depth, P pred) {
    if (!node) return false;
    if (!depth) {
        if (pred(node->value)) {
            *result = node;
        }
        return true;
    }
    --depth;
    searchNodeDepth(node->left, result, depth, pred);
    if (!*result)
        searchNodeDepth(node->right, result, depth, pred);
    return true;
}

template<typename T, typename P>
Node<T>* searchNode(Node<T>* node, P pred) {
    Node<T>* result = NULL;
    int depth = 0;
    while (searchNodeDepth(node, &result, depth, pred) && !result)
        ++depth;
    return result;
}

int main()
{
    // a c   f
    //  b   e
    //    d
    Node<char*>
        a = { NULL, NULL, "A" },
        c = { NULL, NULL, "C" },
        b = { &a, &c, "B" },
        f = { NULL, NULL, "F" },
        e = { NULL, &f, "E" },
        d = { &b, &e, "D" };

    Node<char*>* found = searchNode(&d, [](char* value) -> bool {
        printf("%s\n", value);
        return !strcmp((char*)value, "F");
    });

    printf("found: %s\n", found->value);

    return 0;
}

二进制(或n-ary)树的BFS可以在没有队列的情况下递归完成，如下所示(在Java中):

public class BreathFirst {

    static class Node {
        Node(int value) {
            this(value, 0);
        }
        Node(int value, int nChildren) {
            this.value = value;
            this.children = new Node[nChildren];
        }
        int value;
        Node[] children;
    }

    static void breathFirst(Node root, Consumer<? super Node> printer) {
        boolean keepGoing = true;
        for (int level = 0; keepGoing; level++) {
            keepGoing = breathFirst(root, printer, level);
        }
    }

    static boolean breathFirst(Node node, Consumer<? super Node> printer, int depth) {
        if (depth < 0 || node == null) return false;
        if (depth == 0) {
            printer.accept(node);
            return true;
        }
        boolean any = false;
        for (final Node child : node.children) {
            any |= breathFirst(child, printer, depth - 1);
        }
        return any;
    }
}

按升序遍历打印数字1-12的示例:

public static void main(String... args) {
    //            1
    //          / | \
    //        2   3   4
    //      / |       | \
    //    5   6       7  8
    //  / |           | \
    // 9  10         11  12

    Node root = new Node(1, 3);
    root.children[0] = new Node(2, 2);
    root.children[1] = new Node(3);
    root.children[2] = new Node(4, 2);
    root.children[0].children[0] = new Node(5, 2);
    root.children[0].children[1] = new Node(6);
    root.children[2].children[0] = new Node(7, 2);
    root.children[2].children[1] = new Node(8);
    root.children[0].children[0].children[0] = new Node(9);
    root.children[0].children[0].children[1] = new Node(10);
    root.children[2].children[0].children[0] = new Node(11);
    root.children[2].children[0].children[1] = new Node(12);

    breathFirst(root, n -> System.out.println(n.value));
}

在学习AlgoExpert时，对这个问题进行了改编。提示符中已经提供了以下Class。这里是python中的迭代和递归解决方案。这个问题的目标是返回一个输出数组，其中列出了按访问顺序排列的节点名称。如果遍历顺序为A -> B -> D -> F，则输出为['A'，'B'，'D'，'F']

class Node:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.children = []
        self.name = name

    def addChild(self, name):
        self.children.append(Node(name))
        return self

递归

def breadthFirstSearch(self, array):
    return self._bfs(array, [self])
    
def _bfs(self, array, visited):

    # Base case - no more nodes to visit
    if len(visited) == 0:
        return array

    node = visited.pop(0)
    array.append(node.name)
    visited.extend(node.children)
    return self._bfs(array, visited)

迭代

def breadthFirstSearch(self, array):
    array.append(self.name)
    queue = [self]
    while len(queue) > 0:
        node = queue.pop(0)
        for child in node.children:
            array.append(child.name)
            queue.append(child)
    return array

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define Max 1000

vector <int> adj[Max];
bool visited[Max];

void bfs_recursion_utils(queue<int>& Q) {
    while(!Q.empty()) {
        int u = Q.front();
        visited[u] = true;
        cout << u << endl;
        Q.pop();
        for(int i = 0; i < (int)adj[u].size(); ++i) {
            int v = adj[u][i];
            if(!visited[v])
                Q.push(v), visited[v] = true;
        }
        bfs_recursion_utils(Q);
    }
}

void bfs_recursion(int source, queue <int>& Q) {
    memset(visited, false, sizeof visited);
    Q.push(source);
    bfs_recursion_utils(Q);
}

int main(void) {
    queue <int> Q;
    adj[1].push_back(2);
    adj[1].push_back(3);
    adj[1].push_back(4);

    adj[2].push_back(5);
    adj[2].push_back(6);

    adj[3].push_back(7);

    bfs_recursion(1, Q);
    return 0;
}
