Understanding Linked Lists and

Trees
• Introduction, Representation, Types, and
Applications
• Your Name

Introduction to Linked Lists
• Definition: A linked list is a linear data
structure where each element (node) points
to the next.

• Components:
• - Node: Contains data and a reference (or link)
to the next node.
• - Head: The first node in the list.
• - Tail: The last node, which points to null.
Representation of Linked Lists
• Visual Diagram: Show a simple linked list with
nodes and pointers.

• Node Structure:
• struct Node {
• int data;
• Node* next;
• };
Types of Linked Lists
• Singly Linked List: Nodes contain a single
pointer to the next node.
• - Diagram: Simple linear progression of nodes.

• Doubly Linked List: Nodes contain pointers to


both the next and previous nodes.
• - Diagram: Nodes with two pointers.

• Circular Linked List: Last node points back to


Applications of Linked Lists
• Dynamic Memory Allocation: Efficient use of
memory by allocating space as needed.

• Implementing Stacks and Queues: Linked lists


can be used to implement stack and queue
structures.

• Graph Adjacency Representation: Used to


represent adjacency lists for graphs.
Introduction to Trees
• Definition: A tree is a hierarchical data
structure consisting of nodes, with a root node
and child nodes forming a parent-child
relationship.

• Components:
• - Node: Contains data.
• - Edge: Connection between two nodes.
• - Root: Topmost node.
Tree Terminology
• Parent: Node directly connected to another
node moving upwards.

• Child: Node directly connected to another


node moving downwards.

• Sibling: Nodes sharing the same parent.

• Subtree: A tree consisting of a node and its


Representation of Trees
• Visual Diagram: Show a simple tree with root,
nodes, edges, leaves.

• Node Structure:
• struct TreeNode {
• int data;
• TreeNode* left;
• TreeNode* right;
• };
Tree Traversals
• In-order Traversal (Left, Root, Right): Visits
nodes in a left-root-right order.

• Pre-order Traversal (Root, Left, Right): Visits


nodes in a root-left-right order.

• Post-order Traversal (Left, Right, Root): Visits


nodes in a left-right-root order.
Applications of Trees
• Binary Search Tree (BST): Efficient searching
and sorting.

• Heap: Priority queue implementation.

• Trie: Efficient for dynamic spell checking and


auto-completion.

• File System: Directory structures.


Comparison and Summary
• Linked Lists vs Trees:
• - Structure: Linear vs Hierarchical.
• - Usage: Simple linear data structures vs
complex hierarchical relationships.

• Key Points: Summarize main points about


linked lists and trees.
Q&A
• Invite Questions: Encourage audience to ask
questions for further clarification.
References
• List of References: Include any books,
websites, or papers you referenced in your
presentation.
