How can i print an element when I give a certain position?
example:
root = insert(root, 100); (add 100)
root = insert(root, 300); (add 300)
root = insert(root, 200); (add 200)
root = insert(root, 200); (add 400)
PRINT 1 -> Should print the first element (sorted). Which is 100
PRINT 3 -> Should print the third element (sorted). Which is 300
How can I implement this PRINT on my AVL Tree?
I tried to modify this function but i did not succeed
void preOrder(struct node *root)
{
if(root != NULL)
{
preOrder(root->left);
printf("%d ", root->key);
preOrder(root->right);
}
}
I couldn't use a if statment here to check what values are passing because they are all passed at the same time.
preOrder function will order the numbers. lower to biggest.

I don't understand why you can't modify preOrder to do that - you just have to "remember" that current position an update it along the way:
int findPositionPreOrder(
struct node *root,
int targetPos,
int curPos)
{
if(root != NULL)
{
int newPos = findPositionPreOrder(root->left, targetPos, curPos);
newPos++;
if (newPos == targetPos)
{
printf("%d\n", root->key);
}
return findPositionPreOrder(root->right, targetPos, newPos);
}
else
{
return curPos;
}
}
And you call it like findPositionPreOrder(root, targetPosition, 0);
This is not an optimal solution - you can break the recursion after finding your desired position instead of traversing the rest of the tree.
