Binary Trees

saqib — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 18:41:35 +0000

A binary tree is made of nodes, where each node contains a “left” pointer, a “right” pointer, and a data element. The “root” pointer points to the topmost node in the tree. The left and right pointers recursively point to smaller “subtrees” on either side. Stanford CS Education Library: introduces the basic concepts of binary trees, [...]
