binary tree properties

Binary tree properties refer to the inherent characteristics that define the behavior and structure of a binary tree data structure. These properties include: 1. Binary Property: A binary tree is a tree where each node can have at most two child nodes, commonly referred to as the left child and the right child. 2. Root Property: The root of a binary tree is the topmost node, which does not have any parent nodes. 3. Height Property: The height of a binary tree is the length of the longest path from the root to a leaf node. Each level of the tree contributes to its height. 4. Depth Property: The depth of a node in a binary tree is the length of the path from the root to that particular node. 5. Leaf Property: A leaf node is a node that does not have any child nodes. 6. Balanced Property: A binary tree is considered balanced if the height of its left and right subtrees differs by at most 1. 7. Complete Property: A binary tree is complete if all levels, except possibly the last, are completely filled, and all nodes on the last level are left-justified. These properties collectively govern the behavior and characteristics of binary trees, forming the foundation for various algorithms and operations performed on them.
