ListsListsWe have seen lists:public class Node {
Object data;Node next;
}
TreesTreesNow, look at trees:
public class Node {Object data;Node left;Node right;
}
Rooted TreesRooted Trees
Collection of nodes, one of which is the root
Nodes != root have a unique parent node
Each non-root can reach the root by following parent links one or more times
DefinitionsDefinitions
If node p is the parent of node c
then c is a child of p
Leaf : no children
Interior node : has children
Path : list of nodes (m1,m2,…,mk) such that each is the parent of the following
path “from m1 to mk”
Path length = k-1, number of links, not nodes
If there is a path from m to n, then m is an ancestor of n and n is a descendant of m
Note m == n is possible
Proper ancestors, descendants : m != n
Height of a node n is the length of the longest path from n to a leaf
Height of a tree is the height of its root
Depth of a node is the length of the path from the root to n
Subtree rooted at n is all the descendants of n
The children of any given note are often ordered “from the left”
Child c1 is to the left of c2 then all the nodes in the subtree rooted at c1 are “to the left” of those in the subtree rooted at c2
Nodes may have labels, which are values associated with the nodes

Example: Expression TreesExample: Expression Trees
Labels are operands or operators
Leaves : operands
Interior nodes : operators
Children are roots of sub-expressions to which the operator is applied
(x+1)*(x-y+4)(x+1)*(x-y+4)
x 1
x y

+ -
- 4
Recursion on TreesRecursion on Trees
Many algorithms to process trees are designed with a basis (leaves) and induction (interior nodes)
Example: If we have an expression tree we can get
infix (operator between operands - common)
prefix (operator before operands – like function calls)
postfix (operator after operands – good for compilers)
Expression Tree to PostfixExpression Tree to Postfix
Basis
For a leaf, just print the operand
Induction:
For an interior node
apply algorithm to each child from left
print the operator
(x+1)*(x-y+4)(x+1)*(x-y+4)
x 1
x y
*
+ -
- 4
x 1 + x y – 4 - *
General TreesGeneral TreesSome trees are binary:
public class Node {
Object data;
Node left;
Node right;
}
Some trees are not binarySome trees are not binary

How do we implement such trees?
LMC-RSLMC-RSLeftmost-Child, Right-Sibling Tree Representation
Each node has a reference to
1. It’s leftmost child
2. It’s right sibling – the node immediately to the right having the same parent
Advantage: represents trees without limits or pre-specified number of children
Disadvantage: to find the ith child of node n, you must traverse a list n long
LMC-RSLMC-RS
public class Node {
Object data;
Node l_child;
Node r_sibling;
}
Structural InductionStructural Induction
Basis = leaves (one-node trees)
Induction = interior nodes (trees with => 2 nodes)
Assume the statement holds for the subtrees at the children of the root and prove the statement for the whole tree
Tree Proof ExampleTree Proof Example
Consider a LMC-RS tree
S(T): T has one more reference than it has nodes
Basis: T is a single node – 2 references
InductionInduction
T has a root r and one or more sub trees T1, T2,…,Tk
BTIH: each of these trees, by itself has one more than nodes

Q: Why do I want you to draw the pictures?A: We know you can do the algebra. As
you move on, the difficult part of the proofs is “setting up” the proof, from some situation. Sure, if someone sets it up for you, it’s just an “exercise” to solve. The real value is in being able to reason about a situation so as to set up a proof.

Suppose that a binary tree has leaves {l1,l2,..lM} at depths {d1,d2,...,dM}, respectively.

Basis:In a tree with zero nodes, the sum is zeroIn a tree with one node
– One leaf, depth 0
T1
∑1<=1T2
∑2<=1
Same number of total leaves, all depths increase by 1
So, in new Tree ∑1<=1/2 && ∑2<=1/2
