Binary tree
A binary tree is a hierarchical data structure in which each node has at most two children, referred to as the left child and right child. Binary trees are foundational in computer science, underpinning various algorithms and applications such as search trees, expression parsing, and heaps. Structure of a Binary Tree 1. Root Node: The…

Unbalanced tree
An unbalanced tree is a binary tree where the height difference between the left and right subtrees of any node can become significant, leading to an inefficient structure. Unlike balanced trees, which maintain a relatively equal height across subtrees, unbalanced trees may degenerate into a linear structure, similar to a linked list. This can result…

Balanced Tree
A balanced tree is a type of binary tree where the height difference between the left and right subtrees of any node is minimal, ensuring efficient performance in terms of searching, insertion, and deletion operations. This balance is crucial for maintaining the tree’s height at a logarithmic scale, which ensures that operations can be performed…
