Binary Tree Traversals

MediumPython

Problem

Given a binary tree, perform a depth-first traversal and return the values in preorder, inorder, and postorder.

Represent each node as [value, left, right], where left and right are either another encoded node or null. Implement tree_traversals(root) and return an object with preorder, inorder, and postorder arrays.

Constraints

  • The tree contains at most 500 nodes.
  • Each node is encoded as [value, left, right].
  • Node values are integers from -10^9 to 10^9.
  • A missing child is represented by null.
