can yall help me-i need to be able to output in preorder (root, left, right) and in post order (left, right, root)- when i output now it is in order (left, root, right)- how come it does this automatically, just wondering about that-but i need help with preorder and postorder, can't seem to figure it out
thanks

you want to get the output in preorder so you can use this code

#include<stdio.h>
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
#define max 20

		{	rrpreorder(root);

		void rpostorder()
