3. Analyze and Implement Various Tree Structures, Including Binary Trees and Balanced Trees
Trees are non-linear hierarchical data structures that allow for efficient data management and organization. Binary trees, including binary search trees and balanced trees like AVL and Red-Black trees, provide enhanced performance for dynamic data operations. The chapter highlights tree traversals' importance, showcasing various traversal types and storage methods utilized in computer science applications.

What we have learnt
- Trees are hierarchical structures consisting of nodes connected by edges.
- Different types of binary trees and their characteristics affect data management efficiency.
- Tree traversals are essential for accessing and processing tree elements in various sequences.
Key Concepts
- -- Tree
- A non-linear hierarchical data structure composed of nodes connected by edges.
- -- Binary Tree
- A tree where each node has at most two children, namely left and right.
- -- Binary Search Tree (BST)
- A binary tree where left children are less than the parent, and right children are greater.
- -- Balanced Tree
- A tree that maintains its height approximately equal on both sides, ensuring optimal operations.
- -- Traversal
- The process of visiting all the nodes in a specific order.
