CharBTNode

java.lang.Object
- edu.colorado.nodes.CharBTNode

```
public class CharBTNode
extends java.lang.Object
```
A CharBTNode provides a node for a binary tree. Each node contains a piece of data (which is a reference to an object) and references to a left and right child. The references to children may be null to indicate that there is no child. The reference stored in a node can also be null. Limitations: Beyond Int.MAX_VALUE elements, treeSize, is wrong.

  - CharBTNode
```
public CharBTNode(char initialData,
                  CharBTNode initialLeft,
                  CharBTNode initialRight)
```
    Initialize a CharBTNode with a specified initial data and links children. Note that a child link may be the null reference, which indicates that the new node does not have that child.
    
    Parameters:
    
    initialData - the initial data of this new node
    
    initialLeft - a reference to the left child of this new node--this reference may be null to indicate that there is no node after this new node.
    
    initialRight - a reference to the right child of this new node--this reference may be null to indicate that there is no node after this new node. Postcondition: This node contains the specified data and links to its children.

```
    Accessor method to get a reference to the right child of this node.
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to the right child of this node (or the null reference if there is no right child)
  - inorderPrint
```
public void inorderPrint()
```
    Uses an inorder traversal to print the data from each node at or below this node of the binary tree. Postcondition: The data of this node and all its descendants have been writeen by System.out.println( ) using an inorder traversal.
  - isLeaf
```
public boolean isLeaf()
```
    Accessor method to determine whether a node is a leaf.
    
    Returns:
    
    true (if this node is a leaf) or false (if this node is not a leaf.
  - preorderPrint
```
public void preorderPrint()
```
    Uses a preorder traversal to print the data from each node at or below this node of the binary tree. Postcondition: The data of this node and all its descendants have been writeen by System.out.println( ) using a preorder traversal.
  - postorderPrint
```
public void postorderPrint()
```
    Uses a postorder traversal to print the data from each node at or below this node of the binary tree. Postcondition: The data of this node and all its descendants have been writeen by System.out.println( ) using a postorder traversal.
  - print
```
public void print(int depth)
```
    Uses an inorder traversal to print the data from each node at or below this node of the binary tree, with indentations to indicate the depth of each node.
    
    Parameters:
    
    depth - the depth of this node (with 0 for root, 1 for the root's children, and so on)( Precondition: depth is the depth of this node. Postcondition: The data of this node and all its descendants have been writeen by System.out.println( ) using an inorder traversal.
