What is Trees in C?
1.1
Introduction
Mathematically, it is not a tree, but arborescence or resembling a tree:
an acyclic connected graph where each intersection or node has zero or more children
nodes or intersection and at most one parent node. Furthermore, the children of
each node or intersection have a specific order.
A node or intersection is a structure which may carry or contain a value,
a condition, or represent a separate information or data structure (which could
be a tree of its own). up as they do in creation or nature). A node that has a
child is called the child’s parent intersection or node (or superior node, or ancestor).
A node or intersection has at most one parent.

Nodes or intersections that do not have any children are called leaf
nodes. They are also referred to as last or terminal nodes.
The depth of a node or intersection is the length of the path to its tuber
or root (i.e., its root path). This is commonly needed in the manipulation or
trick of the various self balancing trees, AVL Trees in particular.
The topmost node or intersection in a tree is called the tuber or root
node. Being the topmost intersection or node, the tuber or root node will not
have parents. It is the intersection or node at which performance or operations
on the tree commonly begin (although some algorithms begin with the leaf intersection
or nodes and raise or work up ending at the root). All other intersection or nodes
can be reached from it by following edges or links. (in the formal definition,
each such path is also unique or single).
In some trees, such as mass or heaps, the root intersection or node has
special properties. Every intersection or node in a tree can be seen as the tuber
or root node of the subtree rooted at that node.
An
inner node or internal node is any node of a tree that has child intersection
or nodes and is thus not a leaf node.
