Chapter 8, Problem 1R

Explanation of Solution

a.

Root node:

  • Root node means highest node in the tree structure, and has no parent.
  • According to the Figure 8.3, the root node is “/user/rt/courses/”, because it is the highest node in the tree structure.

Explanation of Solution

b.

Internal node:

  • Internal node means any node of a tree which has child nodes. It is lso known as an inner node, or branch node.
  • According to the Figure 8.3, the internal nodes are “/user/rt/courses/”, “cs016/”, “cs252/”, “homeworks/”, “programs/”, “projects/”, “papers/”, and “demos/” because, they are the internal nodes in the given Tree.

Explanation of Solution

c.

Descendant node:

  • Descendant node of a node is any node in the path from that node to the leaf node. The immediate descendant of a node is the “child” node.
  • According to the Figure 8.3, the descendant node of “cs016/” contains  are “grades”, “homeworks/”, “programs/”, “hw1”, “hw2”, “hw3”, “pr1”, “pr2”, and “pr3”.
  • Therefore, the total number of descendant node of “cs016/” contains 9.

Explanation of Solution

d.

Ancestor node:

  • An ancestor node of a node is any node in the path from that node to the root node. The immediate ancestor of a node is the “parent” node.
  • According to the Figure 8.3, the ancestor node of “cs016/” is “/user/rt/courses/”.
  • Therefore, the total number of ancestor node of “cs016/” contains 1.

Explanation of Solution

e.

Siblings of node:

  • Sibling of nodes is nodes on the same hierarchical level under the same parent node.
  • According to the Figure 8.3, the siblings of node “homeworks/” are “grades/” and “programs/”.

Explanation of Solution

f.

Subtree:

  • Subtree of the node is defined as a tree which is a child of a node.
  • According to the Figure 8.3, the subtree rooted at node “projects/” are “papers/”, and “demos/”.

Explanation of Solution

g.

Depth of node:

  • The depth of a node is the number of edges from the node to the tree’s root node.
  • According to the Figure 8.3, the depth of node “papers/” are 2 they are “buylow” and “sellhigh”.

Explanation of Solution

h.

Height of a tree:

  • The height of a node is the number of edges on the longest path from the node to the leaf.
  • According to the Figure 8.3, the height of a tree is 4.

Given the following tree, answer the following questions. Write the sequence of nodes visited using inorder traversal. Write the sequence of nodes visited using preorder traversal. What are the ancestor nodes of the node with key I? A В E F G H
Create a binary tree implementation using the recursive technique taught in the chapter. Each node in this method is a binary tree. As a result, a binary tree has a reference to the element stored at its root, as well as pointers to its left and right subtrees.You should also add a reference to its parent.
