Chapter 21, Problem 4AW
Explanation of Solution
Binary search tree:
- Binary search tree is a tree in which the nodes are sorted in the semantic order and it has the shape of binary tree.
- Nodes in the binary search tree can have zero, one, or two children.
- In a binary search tree, any node value is greater than the left sub tree and lesser than the right sub tree.
- Node without children is called a leaf or end node.
- A node that does not have a superior node is called a root node.
- Root node is the starting node.
- The binary search will be performed until finding a search node or reaching the end of the tree.
Step 1: Define a function named “leafCount” with the parameter “btree”.
Step 2: Check if “btree” is equal to null. If it is true, then return 0.
Step 3: Check if “btree.left” is equal to null and “btree.right” is equal to null. If this condition is true, then return 1.
Step 4: If both the condition fails, then return the summation of count of left tree and right tree by calling the function “leafCount ()” recursively...

If a node is having two child nodes, then its degree is two, if it is having one child node, its degree is one and leaf nodes have degree 0. The method counts and returns the total degree of all the nodes in the binary tree. Example: If a binary tree is having 9 nodes such that 3 nodes, each have 2 child nodes, 2 nodes each have only one child and there are 4 leaf nodes. So, the total degree of the binary tree = 3x2 + 2x1 + 0 = 8. This method is called from a public method countDegreeBT, given as follows: public int countDegreeBT() { return countDegree(root); } Method heading: private int countDegree(Node<E> node)arrow_forwardHey, please complete the sample question below using either pseudocode or Java.arrow_forward
