Syntax:

node.each(function);

Parameters: This function accepts a single parameter as mentioned above and described below:

  • function: This takes a function to be called on each node in the BFS order.

Return Values: This function does not return anything.

    // Constructing a tree
    var tree={
            name: "rootNode",
            children: [

        // Function is used
        obj.each(d => BFS.push(
            " ".repeat(d.depth) + `${d.depth}: ${d.data.name}`
            ));
