    Study Notes

    Tree Representation

    • Trees are hierarchical structures, often used to represent file systems or organizational structures.
    • Nodes: Represent individual elements within the tree.
    • Root: The top node.
    • Branch: The connection between a parent node and its children.
    • Child Nodes: The successors of a node.
    • Parent Node: The predecessor of a node.
    • Binary tree: A tree with at most two child nodes per node.
    • Leaf Node: A node without children.
    • Internal Node: A node with at least one child.
    • Subtree: A smaller tree within a larger tree.
    • Level: The distance of a node from the root.
    • Depth: The highest level of a tree.
    • Degree: The number of children a node has.

    Tree Traversal

    • Visiting all nodes in the tree in a specific order.
    • Preorder: Root is visited first, then left subtree, then right subtree.
    • Postorder: Left subtree is visited first, then right subtree, then root.
    • Inorder: Left subtree is visited first, then root, then right subtree.
    • Breadth-First (Level Order): Nodes are visited level by level, starting from the root and proceeding to the left subtree, right subtree and so forth.

    Other Tree Functionality

    • getParent(): Returns the parent of a node.
    • isNodeSibling(): Returns True if two nodes are siblings.
    • getPreviousSibling(): Returns the previous sibling in the parent's children array.
    • getNextSibling(): Returns the next sibling in the parent's children array.
    • getSiblingCount(): Returns the number of siblings a node has.
    • isLeaf(): Returns True if a node has no children.
