The Deep Power Behind Tree Traversals: Preorder, Inorder, Postorder

Tree traversals are one of the first things we learn in data structures — but they’re often taught only at a surface level: as different ways to “walk” a tree. What’s rarely emphasized is this: A Quick Refresher Given a binary tree, the three primary depth-first traversals are: Traversal Order Preorder Root → Left → … Read more

Binary Search Trees (BSTs): A Complete Guide

A Binary Search Tree is a type of binary tree where each node follows a specific ordering property: the left child of a node contains a value less than the node’s value, and the right child contains a value greater than the node’s value. This property makes searching, insertion, and deletion efficient. Introduction A Binary … Read more

Trie Data Structures: An Overview

Trie

A Trie Data Structure (also known as a prefix tree or digital tree) is a specialized data structure used primarily for storing strings. It excels in scenarios where we need to efficiently manage a dynamic set of strings, often involving operations like prefix-based search, autocomplete, and lexicographical sorting. This article explores the design, functionality, and … Read more

Exploring Binary Trees

A binary tree is a hierarchical data structure in which each node has at most two children, referred to as the left child and the right child. It is a foundational concept in computer science, frequently used in algorithms, data organization, and searching mechanisms. This article will explore the essential aspects of binary trees, including … Read more
