# 7.1   Binary tree
A "binary tree" is a non-linear data structure that represents the ancestral and descendent relationships, embodying the "divide and conquer" logic. Similar to a linked list, the basic unit of a binary tree is a node, each containing a value, a reference to the left child node, and a reference to the right child node.
=== "Python"
```python title=""
class TreeNode:
"""Binary tree node"""
def __init__(self, val: int):
self.val: int = val # Node value
self.left: TreeNode | None = None # Reference to left child node
self.right: TreeNode | None = None # Reference to right child node
```
=== "C++"
```cpp title=""
/* Binary tree node */
struct TreeNode {
int val; // Node value
TreeNode *left; // Pointer to left child node
TreeNode *right; // Pointer to right child node
TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(nullptr), right(nullptr) {}
};
```
=== "Java"
```java title=""
/* Binary tree node */
class TreeNode {
int val; // Node value
TreeNode left; // Reference to left child node
TreeNode right; // Reference to right child node
TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
}
```
=== "C#"
```csharp title=""
/* Binary tree node */
class TreeNode(int? x) {
public int? val = x; // Node value
public TreeNode? left; // Reference to left child node
public TreeNode? right; // Reference to right child node
}
```
=== "Go"
```go title=""
/* Binary tree node */
type TreeNode struct {
Val int
Left *TreeNode
Right *TreeNode
}
/* 构造方法 */
func NewTreeNode(v int) *TreeNode {
return &TreeNode{
Left: nil, // Pointer to left child node
Right: nil, // Pointer to right child node
Val: v, // Node value
}
}
```
=== "Swift"
```swift title=""
/* Binary tree node */
class TreeNode {
var val: Int // Node value
var left: TreeNode? // Reference to left child node
var right: TreeNode? // Reference to right child node
init(x: Int) {
val = x
}
}
```
=== "JS"
```javascript title=""

val; // Node value
left; // Pointer to left child node
right; // Pointer to right child node
constructor(val, left, right) {
this.val = val === undefined ? 0 : val;
this.left = left === undefined ? null : left;
this.right = right === undefined ? null : right;
}
}
```
=== "TS"
```typescript title=""

class TreeNode {
val: number;
left: TreeNode | null;
right: TreeNode | null;
constructor(val?: number, left?: TreeNode | null, right?: TreeNode | null) {

this.left = left === undefined ? null : left; // Reference to left child node
this.right = right === undefined ? null : right; // Reference to right child node
}
}
```

```dart title=""

fn new(val: i32) -> Rc<RefCell<Self>> {
Rc::new(RefCell::new(Self {

Each node has two references (pointers), pointing to the "left-child node" and "right-child node," respectively. This node is called the "parent node" of these two child nodes. When given a node of a binary tree, we call the tree formed by this node's left child and all nodes under it the "left subtree" of this node. Similarly, the "right subtree" can be defined.
**In a binary tree, except for leaf nodes, all other nodes contain child nodes and non-empty subtrees.** As shown in Figure 7-1, if "Node 2" is considered as the parent node, then its left and right child nodes are "Node 4" and "Node 5," respectively. The left subtree is "the tree formed by Node 4 and all nodes under it," and the right subtree is "the tree formed by Node 5 and all nodes under it."

## 7.1.1 &nbsp; Common terminology of binary trees
The commonly used terminology of binary trees is shown in Figure 7-2.
- "Root node": The node at the top level of the binary tree, which has no parent node.
- "Leaf node": A node with no children, both of its pointers point to `None`.
- "Edge": The line segment connecting two nodes, i.e., node reference (pointer).
- The "level" of a node: Incrementing from top to bottom, with the root node's level being 1.
- The "degree" of a node: The number of a node's children. In a binary tree, the degree can be 0, 1, or 2.
- The "height" of a binary tree: The number of edges passed from the root node to the farthest leaf node.
- The "depth" of a node: The number of edges passed from the root node to the node.
- The "height" of a node: The number of edges from the farthest leaf node to the node.

!!! tip
Please note that we usually define "height" and "depth" as "the number of edges passed," but some problems or textbooks may define them as "the number of nodes passed." In this case, both height and depth need to be incremented by 1.

!!! tip
It's important to note that inserting nodes may change the original logical structure of the binary tree, while removing nodes usually means removing the node and all its subtrees. Therefore, in a binary tree, insertion and removal are usually performed through a set of operations to achieve meaningful actions.
## 7.1.3 &nbsp; Common types of binary trees
### 1. &nbsp; Perfect binary tree
As shown in Figure 7-4, in a "perfect binary tree," all levels of nodes are fully filled. In a perfect binary tree, the degree of leaf nodes is $0$, and the degree of all other nodes is $2$; if the tree's height is $h$, then the total number of nodes is $2^{h+1} - 1$, showing a standard exponential relationship, reflecting the common phenomenon of cell division in nature.
!!! tip
Please note that in the Chinese community, a perfect binary tree is often referred to as a "full binary tree."

As shown in Figure 7-5, a "complete binary tree" has only the bottom level nodes not fully filled, and the bottom level nodes are filled as far left as possible.

### 3. &nbsp; Full binary tree
As shown in Figure 7-6, a "full binary tree" has all nodes except leaf nodes having two children.

### 4. &nbsp; Balanced binary tree
As shown in Figure 7-7, in a "balanced binary tree," the absolute difference in height between the left and right subtrees of any node does not exceed 1.

## 7.1.4 &nbsp; Degeneration of binary trees
Figure 7-8 shows the ideal and degenerate structures of binary trees. When every level of a binary tree is filled, it reaches the "perfect binary tree"; when all nodes are biased towards one side, the binary tree degenerates into a "linked list".
- The perfect binary tree is the ideal situation, fully leveraging the "divide and conquer" advantage of binary trees.
- A linked list is another extreme, where operations become linear, degrading the time complexity to $O(n)$.

<p align="center"> Figure 7-8 &nbsp; The Best and Worst Structures of Binary Trees </p>
As shown in Table 7-1, in the best and worst structures, the number of leaf nodes, total number of nodes, and height of the binary tree reach their maximum or minimum values.

| | Perfect binary tree | Linked list |
| ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------- | ----------- |
| Number of nodes at level $i$ | $2^{i-1}$ | $1$ |
| Number of leaf nodes in a tree with height $h$ | $2^h$ | $1$ |
| Total number of nodes in a tree with height $h$ | $2^{h+1} - 1$ | $h + 1$ |
| Height of a tree with $n$ total nodes | $\log_2 (n+1) - 1$ | $n - 1$ |
