Binary Trees

In computer science, a binary tree is a type of tree data structure in which each node has at most two children: the left child and the right child. The left child node is typically smaller than the parent node, and the right child node is typically larger.

Binary trees have various applications in computer science, including:

• Binary Search Trees: A binary tree that is ordered or sorted, allowing for efficient search, insert, and delete operations.
• Expression Trees: A binary tree that represents an arithmetic expression, with the nodes representing operators and operands.
• Huffman Trees: A binary tree used in data compression, where the nodes represent characters and their frequencies.

Understanding binary trees and their implementation is essential for solving problems and implementing algorithms that involve hierarchical data structures.

Let's start by exploring the basic properties and operations of binary trees in C++:

1#include <iostream>
2using namespace std;
3
4// Definition for a binary tree node
5struct TreeNode {
6  int val;
7  TreeNode* left;
8  TreeNode* right;
9  TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
10};
11
12int main() {
13  // Replace this code with your own implementation
14  cout << "Binary Trees" << endl;
15  return 0;
16}

In the code snippet above, we define the basic structure of a binary tree node using a C++ struct. Each node has an integer value and pointers to its left and right children, initialized as NULL.

You can replace the existing code with your own implementation to explore different binary tree operations and algorithms in C++. Happy coding!

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

  // Replace this code with your own implementation

  cout << "Binary Trees" << endl;

  return 0;
