5. 1 Introduction n n What is a “Tree”? For Example : n Figure 5. 1 (a) n n An ancestor binary tree Figure 5. 1 (b) n The ancestry of modern Europe languages

The Definition of Tree (1) n A tree is a finite set of one or more nodes such that : n root n … T 1 T 2 Tn (1) There is a specially designated node called the root. (2) The remaining nodes are partitioned into n ≥ 0 disjoint sets T 1, …, Tn, where each of these sets is a tree. We call T 1, …, Tn, the sub-trees of the root.

The Definition of Tree (2) n n The root of this tree is node A. (Fig. 5. 2) Definitions: n n n Parent (A) Children (E, F) Siblings (C, D) Root (A) Leaf / Leaves n K, L, F, G, M, I, J…

The Definition of Tree (3) n n The degree of a node is the number of sub-trees of the node. The level of a node: n n n Initially letting the root be at level one For all other nodes, the level is the level of the node’s parent plus one. The height or depth of a tree is the maximum level of any node in the tree.

Representation of Trees (1) n List Representation n n The root comes first, followed by a list of subtrees Example: (A(B(E(K, L), F), C(G), D(H(M), I, J))) data link 1 link 2. . . link n A node must have a varying number of link fields depending on the number of branches

Representation of Trees (2) n Left Child-Right Sibling Representation n n Fig. 5. 5 A Degree Two Tree n n Rotate clockwise by 45° A Binary Tree data left child right sibling

5. 2 Binary Trees n n A binary tree is a finite set of nodes that is either empty or consists of a root and two disjoint binary trees called the left sub-tree and the right sub-tree. Any tree can be transformed into a binary tree. n n root By using left child-right sibling representation The left and right subtrees are distinguished The left sub-tree The right sub-tree

Abstract Data Type Binary_Tree (structure 5. 1) Structure Binary_Tree (abbreviated Bin. Tree) is: Objects: a finite set of nodes either empty or consisting of a root node, left Binary_Tree, and right Binary_Tree. Functions: For all bt, bt 1, bt 2 Bin.

Empty(bt)) return error else return the left subtree of bt element Data(bt): : = if (Is. Empty(bt)) return error else return the data in the root node of bt Bintree Rchild(bt): : = if (Is.

Special Binary Trees n Skewed Binary Trees n n Fig. 5. 9 (a) Complete Binary Trees n n Fig. 5. 9 (b) This will be defined shortly

Properties of Binary Trees (1) n Lemma 5. 1 [Maximum number of nodes] : n n (1) The maximum number of nodes on level i of a binary tree is 2 i -1, i ≥ 1. (2) The maximum number of nodes in a binary tree of depth k is is 2 k -1, k ≥ 1. The proof is by induction on i. Lemma 5. 2 : n For any nonempty binary tree, T, if n 0 is the number of leaf nodes and n 2 the number of nodes of degree 2, then n 0 = n 2 +1.

Properties of Binary Trees (2) n n A full binary tree of depth k is a binary tree of depth k having 2 k -1 nodes, k ≧ 0. A binary tree with n nodes and depth k is complete iff its nodes correspond to the nodes numbered from 1 to n in the full binary tree of depth k.

Binary Tree Representation n n Array Representation (Fig. 5. 11) Linked Representation (Fig. 5. 13)

Array Representation n Lemma 5. 3 : If a complete binary tree with n nodes (depth = └log 2 n + 1┘) is represented sequentially, then for any node with index i, 1 ≦ i ≦ n, we have: n n (1) parent (i) is at └ i / 2 ┘, i ≠ 1. (2) left-child (i) is 2 i, if 2 i ≤ n. (3) right-child (i) is 2 i+1, if 2 i+1 ≤ n. For complete binary trees, this representation is ideal since it wastes no space. However, for the skewed tree, less than half of the array is utilized.

Linked Representation typedef struct node *tree_pointer; typedef struct node { int data; tree_pointer left_child, right_child; };
