Consider a binary search tree (BST) whose elements are the name of animals. Starting with an empty BST, show the effect of successively adding the following elements: cow, fox, bat, ant, lion, cat, goat, dog,and pig. Show the effect of successively deleting fox, cow,and bat from the resulting BST and Traverse the original BST in pre-order, in-orderand post-order.
Prove that any binary tree of height h (where the empty tree is height 0, and a tree witha single node is height 1) has between h and 2h − 1 nodes, inclusive. A binary tree is onein which every node has at most three edges (at most one to the ’parent’ and two to the’children.’)
Implement a function to verify if a binary tree is balanced. A balanced tree, for the purposes of this question, is one in which the heights of the two subtrees of any node never differ by more than one.
