From Dunkin Donuts to Just Dunkin! The famous American Donut’s brand is rebranding and closing stores across the world including Oman as its outlets have shut down for good. The demand for donuts in America is decreasing as customers preferring more healthy food with less sugar and fat.

The company’s brand CEO Mr. David Hoffmann said, “the rebranding comes as an effort to reshape the company’s strategic goals and focusing on drinks more than donuts.” While analyzing the company’s different products, the managers noticed that 60% of its revenue is coming from drinks like coffee while demand for donuts is declining.

The company redesigned its brand, and its stores making them look simpler. The company is also introducing new coffee experiences like nitro, cold brew, black...etc. The company will also introduce digital menu and drive through to fit the customers on the go lifestyle. The company will also reduce its employees as the new digital menus will eliminate the need of human employees, reducing the company’s costs.

For each set of numbers you should:

1. Create a binary tree.

2. Print the tree using “inorder”, “preorder”, and “postorder”.

3. Call a method Count which counts the number of nodes in the tree.

4. Call a method Children which prints the number of children each node has.

5. Inset and delete several nodes according to the instructions given.

6. Print the tree again using “inorder”, “preorder”, and “postorder”.

7. Call a method Count again which counts the number of nodes in the tree.

8. Call a method again Children which prints the number of children each node has.
