Organization of Binary Tree in Java
Representation of Binary Tree:
Explanation of the Image:
- The root node of the binary tree is 8.
- The left child of the root has value 3 and it children are 1 and 6, and 6 has 2 children i.e. 4 and 7.
- The right child of the root has 10 and its children are 13 and 14.
- 1, 4, 7, 13 and 14 are leaf nodes which are without any children.
Implementing a Binary Tree in Java
A binary tree is a hierarchical data structure composed of the nodes. Each node contains the value and references to its left child node and right child node, which are also binary trees that are possibly null. The structure resembles the tree with the nodes branching out from a central root, where each node have at most two children such as the left child node and the right child node.
The binary tree finds applications in different domains like computer science algorithms, database indexing, file systems etc. They offer efficient search, insertion and deletion operations when the appropriate balanced. In this Java, we will explore the basics of the binary tree. The implementation is focused on simplicity and clarity, it provides a solid foundation for understanding more advanced binary tree concepts and their applications.
