• Introduction to trees
– Terminology
• Binary trees
• Tree traversal
• Reading: 4.1 – 4.2
Tree
• Tree defined recursively
• A tree is a collection of nodes. The collection can
be empty; otherwise, a tree consists of a
distinguished node r, called the root, and zero or
more non-empty (sub) trees T1, T2, …, Tk each of
whose roots are connected by a directed edge from
r.
• A tree is a collection of N nodes, one of which is
the root and N-1 edges.
Source:Mark Allen Weiss
Tree terminology
• The root of each subtree is said to be a
child of r and r is said to be the parent of
each subtree root.
• Leaves: nodes with no children (also
known as external nodes)
• Internal Nodes: nodes with children
• Siblings: nodes with the same parent
Source:Mark Allen Weiss - edited by Evan Korth
Tree terminology (continued)
• A path from node n1 to nk is defined as a sequence
of nodes n1, n2, …, nksuch that ni is the parent of ni+1
for 1<= i <= k.
• The length of this path is the number of edges on
the path namely k-1.
• The length of the path from a node to itself is 0.
• There is exactly one path from from the root to
each node.
Source:Mark Allen Weiss
Tree terminology (continued)
• Depth (of node): the length of the unique
path from the root to a node.
• Depth (of tree): The depth of a tree is equal
to the depth of its deepest leaf.
• Height (of node): the length of the longest
path from a node to a leaf.
– All leaves have a height of 0
– The height of the root is equal to the depth of
the tree
