Binary Tree Nodes

You are given a table, BST, containing two columns: and P, where N represents the value of a node in Binary Tree, and P is the parent of N.

Write a query to find the node type of Binary Tree ordered by the value of the node. Output one of the following for each node:

  • Root: If node is root node.
  • Leaf: If node is leaf node.
  • Inner: If node is neither root nor leaf node.

Sample Input

Sample Output

1 Leaf
2 Inner
3 Leaf
5 Root
6 Leaf
8 Inner
9 Leaf


Explanation

The Binary Tree below illustrates the sample:

Solution Implementation

select N,
case when P is null then 'Root'
     when (select count(*) from BST where P = B.N) > 0 then  
     'Inner'
     else 'Leaf'
end
from BST as B 
order by N
;
