Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a binary tree, what does the term 'height' refer to?
  • Step 1: Understand what a binary tree is. A binary tree is a structure where each node has at most two children.
  • Step 2: Identify the root of the binary tree. The root is the topmost node.
  • Step 3: Recognize what a leaf node is. A leaf node is a node that does not have any children.
  • Step 4: Learn about the depth of a node. The depth is the number of edges from the root to that node.
  • Step 5: Understand that the height of the tree is the maximum depth of all the leaf nodes.
  • Step 6: Visualize the longest path from the root to any leaf node. This path represents the height of the tree.
