Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 21, Problem 1MC
Program Description Answer
A binary tree is a collection of nodes in which each node “has at most two successors”.
Hence, the correct answer is option “D”.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Binary tree:
- Binary tree is a hierarchical structure to represent the data. The element of the tree is called as a node or item.
- Here, the branches are used to connect the nodes.
- Each node may have zero, one, or two children.
- A node that does not have a superior node is called the root node.
- The root node is the starting node, and it is the ancestor for all other nodes in the tree.
- The set of children node in a binary tree form a subtree rooted at that node.
- A node that does not have a children is called as a leaf node or an end node.
Explanation for incorrect options:
Has no successor:
A binary tree may have zero, one, or two successor node. So, it cannot be predicted that a binary tree has no successor.
Hence, option “A” is wrong.
Has one successor:
A binary tree may have zero, one, or two successor node. So, it cannot be predicted that a binary tree has one successor.
Hence, option “B” is wrong.
Has exactly two successors:
A binary tree may have zero, one, or two successor node. So, it cannot be predicted that a binary tree has exactly two successors.
Hence, option “C” is wrong.

Binary Search Tree
Implement Binary search Tree (BST) and perform the following operations
a. Insert the keys 11,66, 6,9,40,28,5, 88,125,90
b. Print the keys in sorted order using suitable traversal method.
C. Search for a key x and prints its address if it is present.
d. Compute height of the BST
e. Print successor/predecessor of a given key
f. Delete the keys 40 and 88 one by one and print the tree in level order after each delete.
Note: use only recursive functions for all the operations.
Write the c code with proper comments.
