What kind of array has the property where the children of node i are at indices 2i + 1 and 2i + 2? a) dynamic array b) binary heap c) binary tree d) B-tree

Understand the Problem

The question is asking to identify which type of data structure has a specific property related to the indices of its children in an array representation, specifically where the children of a node at index i are located at indices 2i + 1 and 2i + 2.

Answer

Binary heap

The final answer is binary heap.

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is binary heap.

More Information

In the array representation of a binary heap, for any node at index 'i', its children can be found at indices '2i + 1' and '2i + 2'. This property enables efficient access and management of heap elements.

Tips

A common mistake is confusing the array-based binary heap with a binary tree, which does not have this specific indexing property for its children.
