Tree traversal is the process of visiting each node in a tree data structure in a specific order. It is a fundamental operation used in various tree algorithms, including searching, sorting, and data processing. There are several methods to perform tree traversal, each with its own order of visiting nodes.

In principle one could talk about tree traversal of unordered trees as a number of possible traversals without a fixed order. But we won't consider that under this section, only deterministic ordered tree traversals.
