Binary Search Tree Seminar

Binary Search Trees (BST) are a type of binary tree that allow for efficient searching, insertion, and deletion of elements. They maintain a sorted structure where each node's left child is less than the parent and the right child is greater, with operations having a time complexity of O(log n) in the best case. Variants like AVL and Red-Black Trees enhance performance, but unbalanced trees can lead to poor efficiency.

Binary Search Trees (BST)

Seminar Presentation
Your Name | Class | Date
Introduction
• Binary Tree: A tree where each node has up to
two children.
• Binary Search Tree (BST): A special type of
binary tree.
• BST is used for fast searching, insertion, and
deletion.
Structure of BST
• Each node has: Left child < Parent < Right child
• No duplicate elements (in standard BSTs).
• Visual representation of a BST.
Properties of BST
• Sorted structure.
• Recursive nature.
• Efficient operations: Search, Insert, Delete.
Basic Operations
• Search: Navigate left or right based on value.
• Insertion: Insert at the appropriate leaf
position.
• Deletion: Handle three cases — leaf, one child,
two children.
Time Complexity
• Best/Average Case: O(log n)
• Worst Case (unbalanced): O(n)
• Depends on tree height.
Applications of BST
• Database indexing.
• Dynamic sorting.
• Network routing and compilers.
Variants of BST
• AVL Tree: Self-balancing.
• Red-Black Tree: Balanced height.
• Splay Tree: Frequently accessed elements near
the root.
Advantages & Disadvantages
• Advantages: Fast access, dynamic size.
• Disadvantages: Poor performance if
unbalanced.
Conclusion
• BSTs are crucial for efficient data handling.
• Understanding BSTs helps in mastering
advanced data structures.
