Program Plan Intro

Binary tree:

  • Binary tree is a hierarchical structure to represent the data. The element of tree is called as a node.
    • Here, the branches are used to connect the nodes.
  • Each node may have zero, one, or two children.
  • A node that does not have a superior node is called the root node.
  • The root node is the starting node, and it is the ancestor for all other nodes in the tree.
  • A node that does not have any children is called as a leaf node or an end node.
  • It is used to implement binary search trees and binary heaps.

Write a method called countLeftNodes that returns the number of left children in the tree. A left child is a node that appears as the root of the left-hand subtree of another node. For example, reference tree #1 has 3 left children (the nodes storing the values 5 , 1 , and 4 ).
Write a method that takes any two nodes u and v in a tree T whose root node is s, and quickly determines if the node u in the tree is a descendant or ancestor of node v.
Input a binary tree and write a method to determine the sum of all the items in it.
