Answer #1

The Depth First Traversals of a binary tree could be:

  • Inorder Traversal
  • Postorder Traversal
  • Preorder Traversal

In all these traversals, we visit each node of the binary tree exactly once. In worst case, if the tree is skewed, we would take n steps to visit each vertex. Hence, in the worst case, the time complexity is O(n).
