Complete Binary Trees: Chapter 10 Introduces - This Presentation Illustrates The Simplest Kind of Trees
Chapter 10 introduces trees. This presentation illustrates the simplest kind of trees: Complete Binary Trees.
Binary Trees
A binary tree has nodes, similar to nodes in a linked list structure. Data of one sort or another may be stored at each node. But it is the connections between the nodes which characterize a binary tree.

A Quiz
Some nodes have only one child.
A Quiz
Some nodes have only one child.
The root has no parent. Every other node has exactly one parent.
When a complete binary tree is built, its first node must be the root.

Is This Complete?
Yes! It is called the empty tree, and it has no nodes, not even a root.

Summary
Binary trees contain nodes. Each node may have a left child and a right child. If you start from any node and move upward, you will eventually reach the root. Every node except the root has one parent. The root has no parent. Complete binary trees require the nodes to fill in each level from left-to-right before starting the next level.
