    Binary Tree Help

    I have written a binary tree program in C++ which prints out the contents of the tree in order. I now need a function thats prints it out in descending order. I am having a some trouble with this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Many Thanks

    Code:
     void print2(struct tree* root) {   
     struct tree  *lowertree, *highertree;
       highertree=root->higher;
       lowertree=root->lower;
       if (lowertree)
          print(lowertree);
           if (root->value != NULL)
            cout<<root->value<<endl;
       if (highertree)
          print(highertree);
               }


    This Code prints the tree in order how would I change this to make it print the opposite way round decending order.

    Swap the calls over, so you print higher first?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Thanks so much I had switched the calls but ive just realised instead of the function calling itself it calls another function that prints inorder.

    Thanks for your help.
