Math Problem Statement
Select the tree that is not a full binary tree. A full binary tree is defined as a tree in which every node has either 0 or 2 children.
Solution
The question asks to select the tree that is not a full binary tree. A full binary tree is a tree in which every node has either 0 or 2 children. No node in a full binary tree should have just one child.
Let's analyze the four diagrams:
- A: This tree is a full binary tree because every internal node has exactly two children.
- B: This tree is also a full binary tree because all internal nodes have two children.
- C: This tree is not a full binary tree. One of its nodes has only one child, violating the rule.
- D: This tree is a full binary tree with all internal nodes having two children.
Thus, the tree in Option C is not a full binary tree.
Would you like a further breakdown or have any questions about full binary trees?
Here are five follow-up questions you may find useful:
- What is the difference between a full binary tree and a complete binary tree?
- How can you determine the number of nodes in a full binary tree if the height is known?
- What is the maximum number of nodes in a full binary tree of a given height?
- How can you construct a full binary tree from a given number of nodes?
- What are some common uses of full binary trees in computer science?
Tip: In a full binary tree, the number of leaf nodes is always one more than the number of internal nodes.
