The document provides a comprehensive overview of binary trees and binary search trees, detailing their properties, types, and implementations in Python. It covers various tree traversals and methods for constructing trees using pre-order and in-order traversals. It also highlights the significance of binary trees in data structures and their application in efficient data management.

3. Introduction to Trees
• Definition:
• A tree is a hierarchical data structure
consisting of nodes. Each node has a value and
references to child nodes.
• Characteristics:
• - One root node
• - Nodes are connected by edges
• - No cycles

4. Binary Tree Properties
• Properties:
• - Each node has at most two children
• - Height is the number of edges in the longest
path from root to a leaf
• Types:
• - Full Binary Tree
• - Complete Binary Tree
• - Perfect Binary Tree

5. Binary Tree Implementation
• Algorithm:
• 1. Define a class Node with data, left, and right
attributes.
• 2. Create a binary tree by instantiating nodes
and linking them.
• Code:
• class Node:
• def __init__(self, value):

6. Binary Tree Representation
• Representation Methods:
• 1. Linked Representation: Using pointers
• 2. Array Representation: Use index
relationships
• Example:
• - Parent(i): (i-1)/2
• - Left Child(i): 2*i + 1
• - Right Child(i): 2*i + 2

7. Binary Tree Traversals
• Types of Traversals:
• - In-order: Left → Root → Right
• - Pre-order: Root → Left → Right
• - Post-order: Left → Right → Root
• Algorithm (Pre-order):
• 1. Visit root.
• 2. Traverse left subtree.
• 3. Traverse right subtree.

8. Construction of Binary Tree (Pre-
order & In-order)
• Steps:
• 1. Identify root from pre-order.
• 2. Split in-order into left and right subtrees.
• 3. Recursively build left and right subtrees.
• Code:
• def build_tree(preorder, inorder):
• if not preorder or not inorder:
• return None

9. Summary
• - Trees are hierarchical data structures with
many applications.
• - Binary Trees are specialized with at most two
children per node.
• - Traversals are essential to accessing data.
• - Construction of trees can be achieved from
traversals.
• - Binary Search Trees support efficient
insertion and deletion operations.
