I'm new to Python, and trying to construct a character-based BFS tree which prints the Parent-child relationships. A closely related solution, but is a number-based tree, is found in this found here Printing BFS (Binary Tree) in Level Order with _specific formatting_ , specifically the following example as taken from the reference:
def printBfsLevels(graph,start):
queue=[start]
path=[]
currLevel=1
levelMembers=1
height=[(0,start)]
childCount=0
print queue
while queue:
visNode=queue.pop(0)
if visNode not in path:
if levelMembers==0:
levelMembers=childCount
childCount=0
currLevel=currLevel+1
queue=queue+graph.get(visNode,[])
if levelMembers > 0:
levelMembers=levelMembers-1
for node in graph.get(visNode,[]):
childCount=childCount+1
height.append((currLevel,node))
path=path+[visNode]
prevLevel=None
for v,k in sorted(height):
if prevLevel!=v:
if prevLevel!=None:
print "\n"
prevLevel=v
print k,
return height
g={1: [2, 3,6], 2: [4, 5], 3: [6, 7],4:[8,9,13]}
printBfsLevels(g,1)
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
