Binary Tree

In this tutorial, you will learn about binary tree and its different types. Also,
you will find working examples of binary tree in C, C++, Java and Python.

A binary tree is a tree data structure in which each parent node can have at
most two children. Each node of a binary tree consists of three items:

 data item

 address of left child

 address of right child

Types of Binary Tree


1. Full Binary Tree

A full Binary tree is a special type of binary tree in which every parent
node/internal node has either two or no children.

2. Perfect Binary Tree

A perfect binary tree is a type of binary tree in which every internal node
has exactly two child nodes and all the leaf nodes are at the same level.

Perfect Binary Tree

3. Complete Binary Tree

A complete binary tree is just like a full binary tree, but with two major
differences

1. Every level must be completely filled

2. All the leaf elements must lean towards the left.


3. The last leaf element might not have a right sibling i.e. a complete
binary tree doesn't have to be a full binary tree.

4. Degenerate or Pathological Tree

A degenerate or pathological tree is the tree having a single child either left
or right.

Degenerate Binary Tree


5. Skewed Binary Tree

A skewed binary tree is a pathological/degenerate tree in which the tree is


either dominated by the left nodes or the right nodes. Thus, there are two
types of skewed binary tree: left-skewed binary tree and right-skewed
binary tree.

6. Balanced Binary Tree

It is a type of binary tree in which the difference between the height of the
left and the right subtree for each node is either 0 or 1.
