treeInsert is a function, not an array...

Where are the variable declarations for treeInsert, leftchild and the such?

Ok I scraped that and started new. Not sure if it is an improvement or not.

in the traverse I found and fixed this

cout << root->data << " ";

closer if I can figure out the traverse and height

Sorry, but could you please a little explanation of what your code is supposed to do? I refuse to read all code and try to figure that out.

Thanks in advance,
Eddy

Actually if you look in the main at the end that is it. Fill the tree with the data and spit out a few results.
tree1.treenodes[0]=5;
tree1.treenodes[1]=10;
tree1.treenodes[2]=2;
tree1.treenodes[3]=5;
tree1.treenodes[4]=7;
tree1.treenodes[5]=12;
tree1.treenodes[6]=3;
tree1.treenodes[7]=9;
tree1.treenodes[8]=8;
output
cout << "The left child of node 3 is: " << tree1.leftchild(3) << endl;
cout << "The height of the tree is: " << tree1.height() << endl;
cout << "The node 7 is a leaf: " << tree1.isleaf(7) << endl;
cout << "The node 2 is a leaf: " << tree1.isleaf(2) << endl;
cout << "The parent of node 5 is: " << tree1.parent(5) << endl;

cout << "Values for inorder traversal: " << endl;
// tree1.traverseinorder();
