Collect the leaves of a binary tree in a list
A leaf is a node with no successors. Write a predicate leaves/2 to collect them in a list.
leaves :: Tree a -> [a]
leaves Empty = []
leaves (Branch a Empty Empty) = [a]
leaves (Branch a left right) = leaves left ++ leaves right
Alternative solution only using cons:
leaves t = leaves' t []
where leaves' Empty xs = xs
leaves' (Branch x Empty Empty) xs = x:xs
leaves' (Branch _ l r) xs = leaves' l $ leaves' r xs
