1. 

What is a tree?

A tree is a data structure where data is stored in nodes. Nodes are arranged in branches where each node can expand into 0, 1, or 2 other nodes.

2. 

What is the relationship between parent node and child nodes?

A parent node is a node that branches into one or two other nodes, which are called child nodes.

3. 

What are a key and a value?

A key is a component of a node that identifies the node. An application searches keys to locate a desired node. A value is also a component of a node that is used to store data.

4. 

What is a root node?

A root node is another term for a parent node.

5. 

What is the purpose of a left child node and a right child node?

The left child node has a key that is less than the key of its parent node. The right child node has a key that is greater than the key of its parent node.

6. 

What is a leaf node?

A leaf node is the last node on a branch and does not have any child nodes.

7. 

What is the depth of a tree?

The depth of a tree is the number of levels of a tree.

8. 

What is the size of a tree?

The size of a tree is the number of nodes on the tree.

9. 

How do you calculate the size of a tree?

You calculate the size of a tree by using the following formula:  size   2 depth   If the depth is 5 levels, then the size is 32, as shown here:  32   2 5

10. 

Can a tree have a duplicate key?
