Binary Trees
- A binary tree is a directed tree where each node has an outdegree less than or equal to 2.
- An empty tree is also considered a binary tree.
- Binary tree nodes are characterized by their relationships to the root.
Basic Terminology
- Root: The unique node at the top of the tree.
- Left Child: The node directly to the left of the root.
- Right Child: The node directly to the right of the root.
- Parent: A node with a left or right child, or both.
- Siblings: Nodes sharing the same parent.
- Leaf: A node with no children.
- Descendant: A node that is a child or descendant of another node.
- Left Subtree: The subtree whose root is the left child of a node.
- Right Subtree: The subtree whose root node is the right child of some node.
Level of a Node
- The level of a node is its distance from the root.
- The root's level is 0.
- Each level is one more than its parent (upward).
- Maximum number of nodes at level N is 2N (exponentially increases)
Depth or Height of a Tree
- The depth or height is the maximum number of nodes in a branch of the tree
- The depth of a root is 1
- Maximum number of nodes in a binary tree with depth d is 2d-1 (starting from 1, then 2, 4, etc.)
External and Internal Nodes
- External Nodes: Nodes with no children (terminal nodes)
- Internal Nodes: Nodes with one or more than one children (non-terminal nodes)
Binary Expression Trees
- Algebraic expressions can be represented conveniently by binary expression trees.
- Tree is decomposed into left operand, operator and right operand (or expressions)
- The evaluation of the tree depends on the operator precedence.
Complete Binary Tree
- A complete binary tree has all levels full, except possibly the last, containing the maximum number of nodes possible for the given level.
- The depth of a complete binary tree with n nodes is log2n + 1
Full Binary Tree
- A full binary tree is a binary tree where all the leaves are at the same level.
- Each non-leaf node has two children
General vs. Binary Tree
- A general tree can have zero nodes or an empty node.
- In a binary tree, an empty tree may be possible.
- If a node has a child, different distinctions are made (left/right children)
- Equivalent general trees can be distinct in a binary representation.
Tree Traversal
- Preorder Traversal: Visit the root, traverse the left subtree in preorder, traverse the right subtree in preorder
- Postorder Traversal: Traverse the left subtree in postorder, traverse the right subtree in postorder, visit the root
- Inorder Traversal: Traverse the left subtree in inorder, visit the root, traverse the right subtree in inorder
Drawing a Unique Binary Tree
- The root is the first node in the preorder traversal.
- Use the inorder traversal to find nodes for the left and right subtrees
- Repeat with each node until all are evaluated.
