What is a common application of trees in real-world systems?
  • Step 1: Understand what a tree is. A tree is a data structure that has a root and branches, similar to a real tree.
  • Step 2: Recognize that trees can organize information in a hierarchy, meaning some items are 'above' others.
  • Step 3: Think about how files are stored on a computer. They are organized in folders (directories) and subfolders, just like branches on a tree.
  • Step 4: Realize that each folder can contain files or more folders, creating a structure that resembles a tree.
  • Step 5: Conclude that this organization helps users easily find and manage their files.
