Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

How do you determine the height of a binary tree?
  • Step 1: Start at the root of the binary tree.
  • Step 2: If the root is null (no tree), the height is 0.
  • Step 3: If the root is not null, find the height of the left subtree.
  • Step 4: Find the height of the right subtree.
  • Step 5: The height of the tree is 1 (for the root) plus the maximum height of the left and right subtrees.
  • Step 6: Repeat steps 3 to 5 for each subtree until you reach the leaves.
  • Height of a Binary Tree – The height is the maximum depth of any node, measured as the longest path from the root to a leaf.
