Binary Tree and Complete Binary Tree
 Binary Tree(BT) is a tree in which each node contains at most two
child nodes(left child and right child).
 A complete binary tree is a binary tree in which every node
contains exactly two child nodes except the leaf nodes. Figure 1
shows a tree which is not a binary tree since node ‘3’ contains three
child nodes. Figure 2 shows an example binary tree and Figure 3
shows a complete binary tree

Types of Binary Tree
Ordered Binary Tree: In an ordered binary tree, the left
child node will always be less than its parent and right child
node will greater than its parent. It is also known as Binary
Search Tree.
Unordered Binary Tree: Unordered Binary tree does not
follow any such ordering.
An example of ordered binary tree is given below.

In the rest of the slides we only
focus on ordered binary tree since it
has many applications including
finding duplicates, data sorting and
searching.

Operations on Binary tree
Traversals
•Traversal refers to visiting all the nodes of a binary
tree exactly once in a systematic way.
Insertion
•Refers to inserting a new element into the tree
Deletion
•Refers to removing an element from the tree
Searching
•Search operation checks whether the given data is
present in the tree or not.

Applications of Binary tree
• Expression Evaluation (Expression tree)
• Data Searching
• Data sorting

Representation of Binary Trees
Array Representation
Linked Representation
Threaded Representation

Array Representation
• A binary tree may be represented using an array.
• The key concept is that, if a parent is stored in location
k, then its left and right child are located in locations 2k
and 2k+1 respectively.
• An Example tree and its array representation is given
below.

Traversal Operations
Pre-order Traversal
1. Process the root node
2. Perform preorder traversal of left subtree
3. perform preorder traversal of right subtree
In-order Traversal
1.Perform Inorder traversal of left subtree
2.Process the root node
3.Perform Inorder traversal of right subtree
Post-order Traversal
1.Perform Postorder traversal of left subtree
2.Perform Postorder traversal of right subtree
3.Process the root node

NODE DECLARATION
typedef struct treeNode

INSERTION ROUTINE
treeNode * Insert(treeNode *node,int data)
{
if(node==NULL)
{

temp = (treeNode *)malloc(sizeof(treeNode));
temp -> data = data;
temp -> left = temp -> right = NULL;

}

DELETION ROUTINE
treeNode * Delete(treeNode *node, int data)
{

{
printf("Element Not Found");
}

{
node->left = Delete(node->left, data);

/* Now We can delete this node and replace with either minimum element
in the right sub tree or maximum element in the left subtree */

CONTD..
  if(node->right && node->left)
                {
                        /* Here we will replace with minimum element in the right sub tree */

                           remove it from the tree and connect its parent to its child */

FINDMIN ROUTINE
treeNode* FindMin(treeNode *node)

        {

        }
        if(node->left) /* Go to the left sub tree to find the min
element */
                return FindMin(node->left);
        else
                return node;
