Check if a Binary Tree is univalued or not

Last Updated : 10 Aug, 2022

Given a binary tree, the task is to check if the binary tree is univalued or not. If found to be true, then print “YES”. Otherwise, print “NO”.

A binary tree is univalued if every node in the tree has the same value.

Example:

Input:
                   1
                  /  \
                 1    1 
                / \    \
               1   1    1
Output: YES
Explanation:
The value of all the nodes in the binary tree is equal to 1.
Therefore, the required output is YES.

Input:
                   9
                 /  \
                2   4 
               / \   \
             -1   3   0
Output: NO

DFS-based Approach: The idea is to traverse the tree using DFS and check if every node of the binary tree have the same value as the root node of the binary tree or not. If found to be true, then print “YES”. Otherwise, print “NO”.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ Program for the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Structure of a tree node
struct Node {
    int data;
    Node* left;
    Node* right;
};
 
// Function to insert a new node
// in a binary tree
Node* newNode(int data)
{
    Node* temp = new Node;
    temp->data = data;
    temp->left = temp->right = NULL;
    return (temp);
}
 
// Function to check If the tree
// is uni-valued or not
bool isUnivalTree(Node* root)
{
 
    // If tree is an empty tree
    if (!root) {
        return true;
    }
 
    // If all the nodes on the left subtree
    // have not value equal to root node
    if (root->left != NULL
        && root->data != root->left->data)
        return false;
 
    // If all the nodes on the left subtree
    // have not value equal to root node
    if (root->right != NULL
        && root->data != root->right->data)
        return false;
 
    // Recurse on left and right subtree
    return isUnivalTree(root->left)
           && isUnivalTree(root->right);
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
 
    /*
                1
              /   \
             1     1
           /  \     \
          1    1     1
    */
    Node* root = newNode(1);
    root->left = newNode(1);
    root->right = newNode(1);
    root->left->left = newNode(1);
    root->left->right = newNode(1);
    root->right->right = newNode(1);
 
    if (isUnivalTree(root) == 1) {
 
        cout << "YES";
    }
    else {
 
        cout << "NO";
    }
    return 0;
}

BFS-based Approach: The idea is to traverse the tree using BFS and check if every node of the binary tree have a value equal to the root node of the binary tree or not. If found to be true, then print “YES”. Otherwise, print “NO”. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

Initialize a queue to traverse the binary tree using BFS.
Insert the root node of the binary tree into the queue.
Insert the left subtree of the tree into queue and check if value of front element of the queue equal to the value of current traversed node of the tree or not. If found to be false, then print “NO”.
Insert the right subtree of the tree into queue and check if value of front element of the queue equal to the value of current traversed node of the tree or not. If found to be false, then print “NO”.
Otherwise, If all the nodes of the tree are traversed and value of each node equal to the value of root node, then print “YES”.

    return (temp);

// Function to check If the tree

    // If tree is an empty tree

    // Store nodes at each level
