What if i want to find the height of the BST ?

[Rittam Debnath]

Is this the right approach ?

class node:
    def getHeight(self):
        if self is None:
            return -1
        return 1 + max(self.leftChild.getHeight(), self.rightChild.getHeight())

class Tree:
    def getHeight(self):
        if self.root:
            return self.root.getHeight()
        else:
            return -1

Yes, that looks correct to me. I didn't test it, but it looks right.

But its showing error can you please check it .

This seems to work. Sorry for the long delay.

def getHeight(self):
	if self.leftChild and self.rightChild:
		return 1 + max(self.leftChild.getHeight(), self.rightChild.getHeight())
	elif self.leftChild:
		return 1 + self.leftChild.getHeight()
	elif self.rightChild:
		return 1 + self.rightChild.getHeight()
	else:
		return 1

def getHeight(self):
	if self.root:
		return self.root.getHeight()
	else:
		return -1
