Study Notes
Tree Data Structure
- The primary purpose of a tree data structure is to store data in a hierarchical manner, allowing for efficient search, insertion, and deletion operations.
Tree Terminology
- A 'leaf' in a tree data structure refers to a node that has no children, meaning it is an endpoint in the tree.
Binary Search Tree Operations
- The time complexity of searching for an element in a balanced binary search tree is O(log n), making it an efficient data structure for searching.
