CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
To learn how to use a tree to represent a hierarchical organization of information. To learn how to use recursion to process trees. To understand the different ways of traversing a tree. To understand the difference between binary trees, and binary search trees. To learn how to implement binary trees, and binary search trees using linked data structures and arrays.

Malik D.S.

TREE TERMINOLOGY
A tree consists of a collection of elements or nodes, with each node linked to its successors. The node at the top of a tree is called its root. The links from a node to its successors are called branches. The successors of a node are called its children. The predecessor of a node is called its parent.

Malik D.S.

TREE TERMINOLOGY (CONTINUED)


Each node in a tree has exactly one parent except for the root node, which has no parent. Nodes that have the same parent are siblings. A node that has no children is called a leaf node. A generalization of the parent-child relationship is the ancestor-descendent relationship.

Malik D.S.

BINARY TREES
A binary tree is a hierarchical structure. Definition: A binary tree, T, is either empty or such that:

Malik D.S.

T has a special node called the root node; T has two sets of nodes, LT and RT, called the left subtree and right subtree of T, respectively; LT and RT are binary trees

NODES

For each node:


Data is stored in info The reference to the left child is stored in llink The reference to the right child is stored in rlink

GENERAL BINARY TREE

Malik D.S.

BINARY TREE DEFINITIONS


Leaf:

node that has no left and right children. Parent: node with at least one child node. Level of a node: number of branches on the path from root to node.
The level of the root node is 0 The level of the children of the root node is 1

Malik D.S.

Height

of a binary tree: The length of the path from the root to the deepest node in the tree. A (rooted) tree with only a node (the root) has a height of zero.

14

HEIGHT OF A BINARY TREE


Recursive algorithm to find height of binary tree: (height(p) denotes height of binary tree with root p):

Malik D.S.

If the binary tree is empty, height is 0 If the binary tree is nonempty:

Find the height of left subtree & right subtree Find the maximum of these two heights and add 1

if(p is NULL)

height(p) = 0
else height(p) = 1 + max(height(p.llink),height(p.rlink))

15

HEIGHT OF A BINARY TREE


Method to implement above algorithm:
Malik D.S.

private int height(BinaryTreeNode p) { if(p == NULL) return 0; else return 1 + max(height(p.llink), height(p.rlink)); }

16

HEIGHT OF BINARY TREE

Malik D.S.

Height = 3
17

SOME TYPES OF BINARY TREES

Expression tree

Each node contains an operator or an operand


Malik D.S.

Huffman tree
Represents Huffman codes for characters that might appear in a text file Huffman code uses different numbers of bits to encode letters as opposed to ASCII or Unicode

Binary search trees

All elements in the left subtree precede those in the right subtree

Malik D.S.

FULL AND COMPLETE BINARY TREE


A full binary tree (sometimes proper binary tree or 2-tree) is a tree in which every node has zero or two children except for the leaves. A perfect binary tree (sometimes complete binary tree) is a full binary tree in which all leaves are at the same depth.

T has a special node called the root node T has two sets of nodes, LT and RT, called the left subtree and right subtree of T, respectively Key in root node larger than every key in left subtree and smaller than every key in right subtree LT and RT are binary search trees

BINARY SEARCH TREE DELETION


After deleting the desired item, the resulting tree must be a binary search tree. Four cases (Refer to binary search tree on the next slide):

1) The node to be deleted has no left and right subtrees. Example: Node with data 46

Malik D.S.

2) The node to deleted has no left subtree but has a nonempty right subtree. Example: Node with data 30
3) The node to be deleted has no right subtree but has a nonempty left subtree Example: Node with data 80 4) The node to be deleted has nonempty left and right subtrees. Example: Node with data 50

The element 80 has two children, so we cannot simply unlink 80 from the tree: that would create a hole.

Of the elements already in the tree, two could replace 80 (and then have the original deleted) without destroying the binary search tree properties. Which two?

58

Malik D.S.

We can replace 80 with either its predecessor, 75, or its successor, 85. The successor of an element is the leftmost element in the right subtree. The predecessor of an element is the rightmost element in the left subtree. Well choose its successor. Replace 80 with 85, and then remove 85.

CHAPTER REVIEW

A tree is a recursive, nonlinear data structure that is used to represent data that is organized as a hierarchy. A binary tree is a collection of nodes with three components: a reference to a data object, a reference to a left subtree, and a reference to a right subtree. In a binary tree used for arithmetic expressions, the root node should store the operator that is evaluated last. A binary search tree is a tree in which the data stored in the left subtree of every node is less than the data stored in the root node, and the data stored in the right subtree is greater than the data stored in the root node.
