A rope is a type of binary tree where each leaf (end node) holds a string of manageable size and length (also known as a weight), and each node further up the tree holds the sum of the lengths of all the leaves in its left subtree. A node with two children thus divides the whole string into two parts: the left subtree stores the first part of ...
To traverse arbitrary trees (not necessarily binary trees) with depth-first search, perform the following operations at each node: If the current node is empty then return. Visit the current node for pre-order traversal. For each i from 1 to the current node's number of subtrees − 1, or from the latter to the former for reverse traversal, do:
The process of deleting an internal node in a binary tree. Suppose that the node to delete is node A. If A has no children, deletion is accomplished by setting the child of A's parent to null. If A has one child, set the parent of A's child to A's parent and set the child of A's parent to A's child.
If nodes of the B+ tree are organized as arrays of elements, then it may take a considerable time to insert or delete an element as half of the array will need to be shifted on average. To overcome this problem, elements inside a node can be organized in a binary tree or a B+ tree instead of an array. B+ trees can also be used for data stored ...
An AA tree in computer science is a form of balanced tree used for storing and retrieving ordered data efficiently. AA trees are named after their originator, Swedish computer scientist Arne Andersson. [1] AA trees are a variation of the red–black tree, a form of binary search tree which supports efficient addition and deletion of entries ...
To turn a regular search tree into an order statistic tree, the nodes of the tree need to store one additional value, which is the size of the subtree rooted at that node (i.e., the number of nodes below it). All operations that modify the tree must adjust this information to preserve the invariant that size[x] = size[left[x]] + size[right[x]] + 1
Tries are edge-labeled, and in this representation the edge labels become node labels on the binary nodes. The process of converting from a k-ary tree to an LC-RS binary tree is sometimes called the Knuth transform. [4] To form a binary tree from an arbitrary k-ary tree by this method, the root of the original tree is made the root of the ...
The B-tree generalizes the binary search tree, allowing for nodes with more than two children. [2] Unlike other self-balancing binary search trees, the B-tree is well suited for storage systems that read and write relatively large blocks of data, such as databases and file systems.
