A labeled binary tree of size 9 (the number of nodes in the tree) and height 3 (the height of a tree defined as the number of edges or links from the top-most or root node to the farthest leaf node), with a root node whose value is 1. The above tree is unbalanced and not sorted.
Most operations on a binary search tree (BST) take time directly proportional to the height of the tree, so it is desirable to keep the height small. A binary tree with height h can contain at most 2 0 +2 1 +···+2 h = 2 h+1 −1 nodes. It follows that for any tree with n nodes and height h: + And that implies:
6-ary tree represented as a binary tree. Every multi-way or k-ary tree structure studied in computer science admits a representation as a binary tree, which goes by various names including child-sibling representation, [1] left-child, right-sibling binary tree, [2] doubly chained tree or filial-heir chain.

Fig. 1: A binary search tree of size 9 and depth 3, with 8 at the root. In computer science, a binary search tree (BST), also called an ordered or sorted binary tree, is a rooted binary tree data structure with the key of each internal node being greater than all the keys in the respective node's left subtree and less than the ones in its right subtree.
A weight-balanced tree is a binary search tree that stores the sizes of subtrees in the nodes. That is, a node has fields key, of any ordered type; value (optional, only for mappings) left, right, pointer to node; size, of type integer. By definition, the size of a leaf (typically represented by a nil pointer) is zero.
To split a tree into two trees, those smaller than key x, and those larger than key x, we first draw a path from the root by inserting x into the tree. After this insertion, all values less than x will be found on the left of the path, and all values greater than x will be found on the right.
A 2002 article by Timothy J. Rolfe brought attention back to the DSW algorithm; [3] the naming is from the section title "6.7.1: The DSW Algorithm" in Adam Drozdek's textbook. [4] Rolfe cites two main advantages: "in circumstances in which one generates an entire binary search tree at the beginning of processing, followed by item look-up access ...
The external nodes form the leaves of the tree. [3] The data items are arranged in the tree in such a way that an inorder traversal of the tree lists the data items in sorted order. [4] What distinguishes WAVL trees from other types of binary search tree is its use of ranks. These are numbers, associated with each node, that provide an ...
