Program Plan Intro

Binary tree:

  • It is a tree data structure which comes under hierarchical data structure.
  • It is made of nodes that have a left child, right child and a data element.

Tree traversal:

  • There are 3 common methods
    • Inorder traversal
    • Preorder traversal
    • Postorder traversal
  • In inorder traversal, the left subtree is encountered first, then data node and then the right subtree.
  • In preorder traversal, the data node is encountered first, then left subtree and then the right subtree.
  • In postorder traversal, the left subtree is encountered first, then right subtree and then the data node.

Algorithm for Preorder traversal:

  • Visit and print the root node.
  • Now traverse through the leftmost subtree and then print the element.
  • Traverse the rightmost subtree and then print the element.

How would the values in the tree you sketched for queston 16 be displayed in a preorder traversal?
A new property was added to the search key to address non-unique search keys. What impact may this modification have on the height of the B+-tree?
