Binary trees are an important data structure in computer science with many practical applications. In this presentation, we will discuss what exactly binary trees are and the different types of binary trees.
A binary tree is a type of tree data structure in which each node has at most two children, referred to as the left child and the right child. The topmost node in the tree is known as the root node, and nodes with no children are referred to as leaf nodes.
A binary search tree is a type of binary tree in which each node's left child has a value less than the node's value, and each right child has a value greater than the node's value. This makes searching for a specific value in the tree much more efficient.
There are three main ways to traverse a binary tree:
In-order traversal visits the left subtree, then the root node and finally the right subtree. Pre-order traversal visits the root node, then the left subtree and finally the right subtree. Post-order traversal visits the left subtree, then the right subtree and finally the root node.
The height of a binary tree is the maximum number of edges between the root and any leaf node. It is an important metric for determining the efficiency of binary tree algorithms.
A complete binary tree is a binary tree in which all levels of the tree are completely filled, except possibly for the last level, which is filled from left to right.
A balanced binary tree is a binary tree in which the height of the left and right subtrees of any node differ by at most one. Maintaining balance in a binary tree is important for efficient searching, inserting and deleting.
AVL trees are a type of balanced binary tree in which the height difference between the left and right subtrees is never greater than one. They were the first self-balancing search tree invented.
Red-Black trees are another type of balanced binary tree that use a coloration system for maintaining balance. Each node is either red or black, and a set of rules is followed for maintaining balance during insertion and deletion operations.
Binary trees have many practical applications in computing, including:
Binary trees have a wide range of applications in computer science and are an important data structure to understand. By studying the different types of binary trees and their applications, students can gain a deeper understanding of computer science algorithms and data structures.
