text: How to determine if a binary tree is height | C program to check if a tree is height - balanced or not ; A binary tree node has data , pointer to left child and a pointer to right child ; Returns the height of a binary tree ; Returns true if binary tree with root as root is height - balanced ; for height of left subtree ; for height of right subtree ; If tree is empty then return true ; Get the height of left and right sub trees ; If we reach here then tree is not height - balanced ; returns maximum of two integers ; The function Compute the " height " of a tree . Height is the number of nodes along the longest path from the root node down to the farthest leaf node . ; base case tree is empty ; If tree is not empty then height = 1 + max of left height and right heights ; Helper function that allocates a new node with the given data and NULL left and right pointers . ; Driver code
