Array-based representation of a binary tree, Data Structure & Algorithms

Assignment Help:

Assume a complete binary tree T with n nodes where each node has an item (value). Label the nodes of the complete binary tree T from top to bottom & from left to right 0, 1, ..., n-1. Relate with T the array A where the ith   entry of A is the item in the node labeled i of T, i = 0, 1, ..., n-1. Table illustrates the array representation of a Binary tree of Figure

Given the index i of a node, we can efficiently & easily compute the index of its parent and left & right children:

Index of Parent: (i - 1)/2, Index of Left Child: 2i + 1, Index of Right Child: 2i + 2.

Table: Array Representation of a Binary Tree

First column illustrates index of node, second column contain the item stored into the node & third & fourth columns mention the positions of left & right children

(-1 shows that there is no child to that specific node.)
