In a normal tree, every node can have any number of children. A binary tree is a special type of tree data structure in which every node can have a maximum of 2 children. One is known as a left child and the other is known as right child.
A tree in which every node can have a maximum of two children is called Binary Tree.
In a binary tree, every node can have either 0 children or 1 child or 2 children but not more than 2 children.
Example
binary tree
There are different types of binary trees and they are...
1. Strictly Binary Tree
In a binary tree, every node can have a maximum of two children. But in strictly binary tree, every node should have exactly two children or none. That means every internal node must have exactly two children. A strictly Binary Tree can be defined as follows...
A binary tree in which every node has either two or zero number of children is called Strictly Binary Tree
Strictly binary tree is also called as Full Binary Tree or Proper Binary Tree or 2-Tree
Strictly binary tree data structure is used to represent mathematical expressions.
