Relationship Between Trees, Binary Trees, and Heaps in Data Structures
Core Tree Terminology
Node Degree: The number of subtrees rooted at a node is defined as its degree.
Leaf Node (Terminal Node): Nodes with a degree of 0 are classified as leaf nodes.
Branch Node (Non-Terminal Node): Any node with a degree greater than 0 is a branch node.
Parent Node: A node that contains child nodes is the parent of its direct ...
