    • Making ethical decisions that align with the organization's values and principles (Ethical Leadership)

    Trees

    • A tree is a hierarchical data structure consisting of nodes, where each node has a value and zero or more child nodes.
    • The root node is the topmost node in the tree.
    • Child nodes are nodes that are directly below a parent node.
    • A parent node is a node that has child nodes.
    • Sibling nodes are nodes that share the same parent node.
    • Leaf nodes are nodes with no child nodes.
    • The height of a tree is the number of edges between the root node and the furthest leaf node.
    • The depth of a node is the number of edges between a node and the root node.

    Types of Trees

    • A binary tree is a tree where each node has at most two child nodes (left and right).
    • A B-tree is a self-balancing search tree that keeps data sorted and allows search, insert, and delete operations in logarithmic time.

    Tree Traversal

    • Inorder traversal visits nodes in the order: Left subtree -> Root -> Right subtree.
    • Preorder traversal visits nodes in the order: Root -> Left subtree -> Right subtree.
    • Postorder traversal visits nodes in the order: Left subtree -> Right subtree -> Root.

    Stacks

    • A stack is a linear data structure that follows the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) principle, where elements are added and removed from the top of the stack.
    • The push operation adds an element to the top of the stack.
    • The pop operation removes the top element from the stack.
    • The peek operation returns the top element without removing it.
    • The top of the stack is the most recently added element.
    • The bottom of the stack is the first element added to the stack.
    • A stack is empty when it has no elements.

    Applications of Stacks

    • Stacks can be used to evaluate postfix expressions by parsing the operators and operands.
    • Stacks can be used to implement recursive algorithms iteratively.
    • Stacks can be used to parse syntax in compilers and interpreters.
