    What is the key difference between a binary tree and a binary search tree?

    <p>A binary tree is a tree data structure where each node has at most two children, whereas a binary search tree is a binary tree where each node has a comparable value; for any given node, all elements in its left subtree are less than the node, and all elements in its right subtree are greater than the node.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Describe the main idea behind using a threaded binary tree for non-recursive traversal algorithms.

    <p>Threaded binary trees use empty links to point to in-order successors, allowing for efficient non-recursive traversal algorithms that can traverse the tree without using a stack or recursion.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    How does an AVL tree maintain its height-balanced property during insertion and deletion operations?

    <p>An AVL tree maintains its height-balanced property through rotational operations, such as left and right rotations, which occur when the balance factor of a node becomes imbalanced after insertion or deletion.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the primary advantage of using a B-Tree index in a database?

    <p>The primary advantage of using a B-Tree index in a database is that it allows for efficient searching, insertion, and deletion of keys, even in the presence of a large amount of data.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    How does a Red-Black Tree ensure that its operations are performed in O(log n) time?

    <p>A Red-Black Tree ensures that its operations are performed in O(log n) time through its self-balancing property, where each node is either red or black, and the tree is approximately balanced.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Study Notes

    Binary Trees

    • A binary tree is a data structure in which each node has at most two children (left and right).
    • Binary tree traversal algorithms:
      • Pre-order traversal: visits the root node first, then recursively traverses the left and right subtrees.
      • In-order traversal: visits the left subtree, then the root node, and finally the right subtree.
      • Post-order traversal: visits the left and right subtrees, then the root node.

    Binary Tree Representation

    • Array representation: uses a contiguous block of memory to store the nodes of the tree.
    • Linked list representation: uses a collection of nodes, each pointing to its child nodes.

    Threaded Binary Trees

    • A threaded binary tree is a binary tree where the empty child pointers are replaced with a thread (a pointer to another node).
    • Types of threaded binary trees:
      • Left-threaded binary tree: the left child pointer of a node is replaced with a thread to the in-order predecessor.
      • Right-threaded binary tree: the right child pointer of a node is replaced with a thread to the in-order successor.
      • Full-threaded binary tree: both the left and right child pointers of a node are replaced with threads.

    Non-Recursive Traversal Algorithms

    • Non-recursive traversal algorithms can be implemented using threaded binary trees.

    Expression Trees

    • An expression tree is a binary tree where each node represents an operand or an operator.
    • Expression trees are used to evaluate expressions and perform calculations.

    Binary Search Trees

    • A binary search tree is a binary tree where each node has a key and the keys in the left subtree are less than the key in the root node, and the keys in the right subtree are greater than the key in the root node.
    • Operations on binary search trees:
      • Creation: creating a new binary search tree.
      • Insertion: inserting a new node into the binary search tree.
      • Deletion: deleting a node from the binary search tree.
      • Searching: finding a node with a specific key in the binary search tree.

    Height Balanced Binary Trees

    • A height balanced binary tree is a binary tree where the height of the left and right subtrees of every node differs at most by one.
    • AVL Trees:
      • Insertion: maintaining the balance of the tree after inserting a new node.
      • Deletion: maintaining the balance of the tree after deleting a node.
    • Red-Black Trees:
      • A self-balancing binary search tree with a guarantee of O(log n) time for search, insert, and delete operations.

    B Trees

    • A B-Tree is a self-balancing search tree that keeps data sorted and allows search, insertion, and deletion operations in logarithmic time.
    • Operations on B-Trees:
      • Insertion: inserting a new key into the B-Tree.
      • Deletion: deleting a key from the B-Tree.

    B+ Trees

    • A B+ Tree is a variant of B-Tree that is commonly used in databases and file systems.
