Computers”R”Us Sales Manufacturing R&D US International Laptops Desktops Europe Asia Canada What is a Tree • In computer science, a tree is an abstract model of a hierarchical structure • A tree consists of nodes with a parent-child relation • Applications: • Organization charts • File systems • Programming environments

4. A C B D G E F H K J I Tree Terminology • Root: node without parent (A) • Internal node: node with at least one child (A, B, C, F) • Leaf (aka External node): node without children (E, I, J, K, G, H, D) • Ancestors of a node: parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, etc. • Depth of a node: number of ancestors • Height of a tree: maximum depth of any node (3) • Descendant of a node: child, grandchild, great-grandchild, etc. • Subtree: tree consisting of a node and its descendants subtee

5. A C D B E G H F K J I Exercise: Trees • Answer the following questions about the tree shown on the right: • What is the size of the tree (number of nodes)? • Classify each node of the tree as a root, leaf, or internal node • List the ancestors of nodes B, F, G, and A. Which are the parents? • List the descendents of nodes B, F, G, and A. Which are the children? • List the depths of nodes B, F, G, and A. • What is the height of the tree? • Draw the subtrees that are rooted at node F and at node K.

6. Tree ADT • Query methods: • boolean isInternal(p) • boolean isLeaf (p) • boolean isRoot(p) • Update methods: • swapElements(p, q) • object replaceElement(p, o) • Additional update methods may be defined by data structures implementing the Tree ADT • We use positions to abstract nodes • Generic methods: • integer size() • boolean isEmpty() • objectIterator elements() • positionIterator positions() • Accessor methods: • position root() • position parent(p) • positionIterator children(p)

12. Binary Tree • A binary tree is a tree with the following properties: • Each internal node has two children • The children of a node are an ordered pair • We call the children of an internal node left child and right child • Alternative recursive definition: a binary tree is either • a tree consisting of a single node, or • a tree whose root has an ordered pair of children, each of which is a binary tree • Applications: • arithmetic expressions • decision processes • searching A C B D G E F H I

13. +   2 - 3 b a 1 Arithmetic Expression Tree • Binary tree associated with an arithmetic expression • internal nodes: operators • leaves: operands • Example: arithmetic expression tree for the expression (2  (a - 1) + (3  b))

14. Decision Tree • Binary tree associated with a decision process • internal nodes: questions with yes/no answer • leaves: decisions • Example: dining decision Want a fast meal? No Yes How about coffee? On expense account? Yes No Yes No Starbucks Spike’s Al Forno Café Paragon

15. Properties of Binary Trees • Notation n number of nodes l number of leaves i number of internal nodes h height • Properties: • l = i +1 • n =2l -1 • h  i • h  (n -1)/2 • l 2h • h log2l • h log2 (n +1)-1
