Trees
■ A tree is a non linear data structure. Each object of tree start with root
and extend into branches.
■ tree is a hierarchical data structure that consists of nodes connected
by edges.
■ It has the following properties:
• Root: The top node in the tree.
• Parent: A node that has child nodes.
• Child: A node that is a descendant of a parent node.
• Leaf: A node with no children.
• Height: The length of the longest path from the root to a leaf.
• Depth: The number of edges from the root to the node
• Sibling: Children of the same parent node are called siblings.
Types:
•General Trees:
•Binary Trees:
•Transversal of trees
•AVL Trees:
•M-way Trees:
•Red-Black Trees:
General Trees:

■ A tree where each node can have any number of children.


Binary Trees

■ A Binary Tree Data Structure is a hierarchical data structure in


which each node has at most two children, referred to as the left child
and the right child.
■ It is commonly used in computer science for efficient storage and
retrieval of data, with various operations such as insertion, deletion,
and traversal.
Transversal of trees

■ Tree Traversal techniques include various ways to visit all the


nodes of the tree. Unlike linear data structures (Array, Linked List,
Queues, Stacks, etc) which have only one logical way to traverse
them, trees can be traversed in different ways
• Inorder Traversal
• Preorder Traversal
• Postorder Traversal
AVL Trees:

A type of self-balancing binary search tree where the heights of the two child
subtrees of every node differ by at most one.
M-way Trees:

■ Trees where each node can have more than two children (e.g., B-trees).
Red-Black Trees:
■ A self-balancing binary search tree with additional properties related to node
color. Every node has a color either red or black.
■ The root of the tree is always black.
■ There are no two adjacent red nodes (A red node cannot have a red parent or
red child).
■ Every path from a node (including root) to any of its descendants’ NULL nodes
has the same number of black nodes.
■ All leaf (NULL) nodes are black nodes.
Implementation of Trees

■ Trees can be implemented in various ways:

• Node-based implementation: Each node contains data and


pointers to its children (for general trees) or left and right children (for
binary trees).

• Array-based implementation: An array can represent binary trees


by storing nodes in a way that each node’s children are located at
specific indices.
Binary Search Trees (BST):

A type of binary tree where the left subtree contains values smaller than the parent
node, and the right subtree contains values greater than the parent node.
Binary Search Trees (BST):

■ A Binary Search Tree (or BST) is a data structure used in computer


science for organizing and storing data in a sorted manner. Each node
in a Binary Search Tree has at most two children, a left child and
a right child, with the left child containing values less than the
parent node and the right child containing values greater than the
parent node.
■ This hierarchical structure allows for efficient searching, insertion,
and deletion operations on the data stored in the tree
Operations on BST

■ The most common operation on binary search tree are as follow:


■ Insertion
■ Searching
■ Traversing
■ Removing
How to Insert a value in a Binary
Search Tree:

■ The below steps are followed while we try to insert a node into a binary search tree:
• Initilize the current node (say, currNode or node) with root node

• Compare the key with the current node.

• Move left if the key is less than or equal to the current node value.

• Move right if the key is greater than current node value.

• Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you reach a leaf node.

• Attach the new key as a left or right child based on the comparison with the leaf
node’s value.

■ Will be done in class.


Find Index/ positions of node

■ For Left we use formula 2K


■ FOR Right we use 2k + 1
Advantages / Disadvantages BST

Advantages Disadvantages
■ Efficient searching: ■ Imbalanced trees: If a tree
is not balanced, it can result
■ Flexible size:
in uneven search times
■ Fast insertion and deletion
■ Complexity: Unlike Arrays
and Linked Lists, Trees can be
complex data structures, and
they can be difficult to
understand and implement
correctly.
