In-Order Traversal
In in-order traversal (specifically for binary trees), visit the nodes in the following order: left subtree, root, right subtree. For a binary search tree, this gives nodes in ascending order.
Level-Order Traversal
Level-order traversal visits the nodes level by level, starting from the root and moving to subsequent levels; typically implemented using a queue.
Post-Order Traversal
In post-order traversal, the nodes are visited in the following order: left subtree, right subtree, and then the root. It is useful for deleting the tree or for postfix notation of expressions.
Pre-Order Traversal
Pre-order traversal visits nodes in the following order: root, left subtree, then right subtree. It's useful for creating a copy of the tree or for prefix notation of expressions.
Depth-First Search (DFS)
Depth-First Search (DFS) is a traversal method that explores as far as possible along each branch before backtracking. This encompasses Pre-Order, In-Order, and Post-Order as specific cases.
