Each binary tree node contains a value and two pointers, which point to its left and right child nodes, respectively. -- For a node in a binary tree, the tree formed by its left (right) child node and all nodes under it is called the node's left (right) subtree. -- Related terminology of binary trees includes root node, leaf node, level, degree, edge, height, and depth, among others. +- For a node in a binary tree, its left (right) child node and the tree formed below it is called the node's left (right) subtree. +- Terms related to binary trees include root node, leaf node, level, degree, edge, height, and depth. - The operations of initializing a binary tree, inserting nodes, and removing nodes are similar to those of linked list operations. - Common types of binary trees include perfect binary trees, complete binary trees, full binary trees, and balanced binary trees. The perfect binary tree represents the ideal state, while the linked list is the worst state after degradation. - A binary tree can be represented using an array by arranging the node values and empty slots in a level-order traversal sequence and implementing pointers based on the index mapping relationship between parent nodes and child nodes. @@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ - Pre-order, in-order, and post-order traversals are all depth-first search methods, reflecting the traversal manner of "going to the end first, then backtracking to continue." They are usually implemented using recursion. - A binary search tree is an efficient data structure for element searching, with the time complexity of search, insert, and remove operations all being $O(\log n)$. When a binary search tree degrades into a linked list, these time complexities deteriorate to $O(n)$. - An AVL tree, also known as a balanced binary search tree, ensures that the tree remains balanced after continuous node insertions and removals through rotation operations. -- Rotation operations in an AVL tree include right rotation, left rotation, right-then-left rotation, and left-then-right rotation. After inserting or removing nodes, an AVL tree performs rotation operations from bottom to top to rebalance the tree. +- Rotation operations in an AVL tree include right rotation, left rotation, right-left rotation, and left-right rotation.

Taking the binary search tree as an example, the operation of removing a node needs to be handled in three different scenarios, each requiring multiple steps of node operations. @@ -34,7 +34,7 @@ We need to view this problem from a recursive perspective.

Why are the `height()` function and the `updateHeight()` function placed in `public` and `private`, respectively? -It depends on the scope of the method's use. If a method is only used within the class, then it is designed to be `private`. For example, it makes no sense for users to call `updateHeight()` on their own, as it is just a step in the insertion or removal operations. However, `height()` is for accessing node height, similar to `vector.size()`, thus it is set to `public` for use. +It depends on the scope of the function's use.
