traverse (foldoc) | traversal
 in-order traversal
 post-order traversal
 pre-order traversal
 traverse
 traversing
 
     Processing nodes in a graph one at a time, usually
    in some specified order.  Traversal of a tree is recursively
    defined to mean visiting the root node and traversing its
    children.  Visiting a node usually involves transforming it in
    some way or collecting data from it.
 
    In "pre-order traversal", a node is visited __before__ its
    children.  In "post-order" traversal, a node is visited
    __after__ its children.  The more rarely used "in-order"
    traversal is generally applicable only to binary trees, and is
    where you visit first a node's left child, then the node
    itself, and then its right child.
 
    For the binary tree:
 
         T
        / \
       I   S
      / \
     D   E
 
    A pre-order traversal visits the nodes in the order T I D E S.
    A post-order traversal visits them in the order D E I S T.  An
    in-order traversal visits them in the order D I E T S.

TRAVERSE (bouvier) | TRAVERSE, crim. law practice. This is a technical term, which means to 
 turnover: it is applied to an issue taken upon an indictment for a 
 misdemeanor, and means nothing more than turning over or putting off the 
 trial to a following sessions or assize; it has, perhaps with more 
 propriety, been applied to the denying or taking issue upon an indictment, 
 without reference to the delay of trial. Dick. Sess. 151; Burn's Just. h.t.; 
 4 Bl. Com. 351. 
 
  |  
TRAVERSE (bouvier) | TRAVERSE, pleading. This term, from the French traverser, signifies to deny 
 or controvert anything which is alleged in the declaration, plea, 
 replication or other pleadings; Lawes' Civ. Plead. 116, 117 there is no real 
 distinction between traverses and denials, they are the same in substance. 
 Willes. R. 224. however, a traverse, in the strict technical meaning, and 
 more ordinary acceptation of the term, signifies a direct denial in formal 
 words, "without this that," &c. Summary of Pleadings, 75; 1 Chit. Pl. 576, 
 n. a. 
      2. All issues are traverses, although all traverses cannot be said to 
 be issues, and the difference is this; issues are where one or more facts 
 are affirmed on one side, and directly and merely denied on the other; but 
 special traverses are where the matter asserted by one party is not directly 
 and merely denied or put in issue. by the other, but he alleges some new 
 matter or distinction inconsistent with what is previously stated, and then 
 distinctly excludes the previous statement of his adversary. The new matter 
 so alleged is called the inducement to the traverse, and the exclusion of 
 the previous statement, the traverse itself. Lawes' Civ. Pl. 117. See, in 
 general, 20 Vin. Abr. 339; Com. Dig. Pleader, G; Bac. Abr. Pleas, H; Yelv. 
 R. 147, 8; 1 Saund. 22, n. 2; Gould. on Pl. ell. 7 Bouv. Inst. Index, n. t. 
      3. A traverse upon a traverse is one growing out of the same point, or 
 subject matter, as is embraced in a preceding traverse on the other side. 
 Gould on Pl. ch. 7, Sec. 42, n. It is a general rule, that a traverse, well 
 tendered on one side, must be accepted on the other. And hence it follows, 
 as a general rule, that there cannot be a traverse upon a traverse, if the, 
 first traverse is material. The meaning of the rule is, that when one party 
 has tendered a material traverse, the other cannot leave it and tender 
 another of his own to the same point upon the inducement of the first 
 traverse, but must join in that first tendered; otherwise the parties might 
 alternately tender traverses to each other, in unlimited succession, without 
 coming to an issue. Gould on Pl. ch. 7, Sec. 42. 
      4. In cases where the first traverse is immaterial, there may be a 
 traverse upon a traverse. Id. ch. 7, Sec. 43. And where the plaintiff might 
 be ousted of some right or liberty the law allows him, there may be a 
 traverse upon a traverse, although the first traverse include what is 
 material. Poph. 101; Mo. 350; Com. Dig. Pleader, G 18; Bac. Abr. Pleas, H 4; 
 Hob. 104, marg.; Cro. Eliz. 99, 418; Gould on Pl. ch. 7, 44. 
      5. Traverses may be divided into general traverses, (q.v.) and special 
 traverses. (q.v.) There is a third kind called a common traverse. (q.v.)

 traverse
 traversing
 
     Processing nodes in a graph one at a time, usually
    in some specified order.  Traversal of a tree is recursively
    defined to mean visiting the root node and traversing its
    children.  Visiting a node usually involves transforming it in
    some way or collecting data from it.
 
    In "pre-order traversal", a node is visited __before__ its
    children.  In "post-order" traversal, a node is visited
    __after__ its children.  The more rarely used "in-order"
    traversal is generally applicable only to binary trees, and is
    where you visit first a node's left child, then the node
    itself, and then its right child.
 
    For the binary tree:
 
         T
        / \
       I   S
      / \
     D   E
 
    A pre-order traversal visits the nodes in the order T I D E S.
    A post-order traversal visits them in the order D E I S T.  An
    in-order traversal visits them in the order D I E T S.

GENERAL TRAVERSE (bouvier) | GENERAL TRAVERSE, pleading. One preceded by a general inducement, and 
 denying, in general terms, all that is last before alleged on the opposite 
 side, instead of pursuing the words of the allegations, which it denies. 
 Gould on Pl. vii. 5, 6. 
      2. Of this sort of traverse, the replication de injuria sua propria, 
 absque tali causa, in answer to a justification, is a familiar example. Bac. 
 Ab. Pleas, H 1 Steph. Pl. 171; Gould, Pl. c. 7, Sec. 5 Archb. Civ. Pl. 194. 
 Vide T?-averse; Special Traverse. 
 
  |  
SPECIAL TRAVERSE (bouvier) | SPECIAL TRAVERSE, pleading. A technical special traverse begins in most 
 cases, with the words absque hoc, (without this,) which words in pleading 
 form a technical form of negation. Lawes' Pl. 116 to 120. 
      2. A traverse commencing with these words is special, because, when it 
 thus commences, the inducement and the negation are regularly both special; 
 the former consisting of new matter, and the latter pursuing, in general, 
 the words of the allegation traversed, or at least those of them which are 
 material. For example, if the defendant pleads title to land in himself, by 
 alleging that Peter devised the land to him, and then died seised in fee; 
 and the plaintiff replies that Peter died seised in fee intestate, and 
 alleges title in himself, as heir of Peter without this, that Peter devised 
 the land to the defendant; the traverse is special. Here the allegation of 
 Peter's intestacy, &c., forms the special inducement; and the absque hoc, 
 with what follows it, is a special denial of the alleged devise, i. e. a 
 denial of it in the words of the allegation. Lawes on Pl. 119, 120; Gould, 
 Pl. ch. 7, Sec. 6, 7; Steph. Pl. 188. Vide Traverse; General Traverse.
