Binary Search Tree (BST)

Suppose T is a binary tree
Then T is called binary search tree if each node N of T  has the following property

The value at N is greater than every value in the left sub-tree of N and is less than every value in the right sub-tree of N 
bst property





                 Binary Search Tree (BST)



Two binary search trees representing the same set:

Two binary search trees representing the same set
Average depth of a node is O(log N); maximum depth of a node is O(N)


      Searching and Inserting in BST 

Algorithm to find the location of ITEM in the BST T or insert ITEM as a new node in its appropriate place in the tree
[a] Compare ITEM with the  root node N of the tree
  (i) If ITEM < N, proceed to the left child of N
  (ii) If ITEM > N, proceed to the right child of N
[b] Repeat Step (a) until one of the following occurs
  (i) We meet a node N such that ITEM = N. In this case search is successful
  (ii) We meet an empty sub-tree, which indicates that search is unsuccessful and we insert ITEM in place of empty subtree


       Searching BST

•If we are searching for 15, then we are done.
•If we are searching for a key < 15, then we should search in the left subtree.
•If we are searching for a key > 15, then we should search in the right subtree.

Example :
example for search in bst


Example demo :

Insert 40, 60, 50, 33, 55, 11 into an empty BST


 Insert 40, 60, 50, 33, 55, 11 into an empty BST



Locating an ITEM 

A binary search tree T is in memory and an ITEM of information is given. This procedure finds the location LOC of ITEM in T and also the location of the parent PAR of ITEM

Three special cases:
[1] LOC == NULL and PAR == NULL, tree is empty
[2] LOC ¹ and PAR == NULL, ITEM is the root of T
[3] LOC == NULL and PAR ¹ NULL, ITEM is not in T and can be added to T as child of the node N with location PAR

ALGORIthm :

[1] [Tree empty ?]
  If ROOT == NULL, then
  Set LOC = NULL, PAR = NULL,   Exit
[2] [ITEM at root ?]
  If ROOT->INFO == ITEM, then
  Set LOC = ROOT, PAR = NULL, Exit
[3] [Initialize pointer PTR and SAVE]
  If ITEM < ROOT->INFO then
  Set PTR = ROOT->LEFT, SAVE = ROOT
  Else
  Set PTR = ROOT->RIGHT, SAVE =ROOT
[4] Repeat Step 5 and 6 while PTR ¹ NULL
[5] [ITEM Found ?]
  If ITEM == PTR->INFO, then
  Set LOC = PTR, PAR = SAVE, Exit
[6]   If ITEM < PTR->INFO, then
  Set SAVE = PTR, PTR = PTR->LEFT
  Else
  Set SAVE = PTR, PTR = PTR->RIGHT
[7] [Search Unsuccessful]
  Set LOC = NULL, PAR = SAVE
[8] Exit
 
  

A binary search Tree T is in memory and an ITEM of information is given. Algorithm to find the location LOC of ITEM in T or adds ITEM as a new node in T at location LOC. 
[1] Call FIND(INFO, LEFT,RIGHT,ROOT,ITEM,LOC,PAR)
[2] If LOC ¹ NULL, then Exit
[3] [Copy the ITEM into the node NEW]
  (a) Create a node NEW
  (b) NEW->INFO = ITEM

  ( c) Set LOC = NEW, NEW->LEFT = NULL, NEW->RIGHT = NULL
[4] [Add ITEM to tree]
  If PAR = NULL
  Set ROOT = NEW
  Else
  If ITEM < PAR->INFO, then
  Set PAR->LEFT = NEW
  Else
  Set PAR->RIGHT = NEW

[5] Exit


Insert Algorithm
• If value we want to insert < key of current node, we have to go to the left subtree
• Otherwise we have to go to the right subtree
If the current node is empty (not existing) create a node with the value we are inserting and place it here.
For example, inserting ’15’ into the BST?



Deletion from BST

T is a binary tree. Delete an ITEM from the tree T
Deleting a node N from tree depends primarily on the number of children of node N
There are three cases in deletion
Case 1. N has no children. N is deleted from the T by replacing the location of N in  the parent node of N by null pointer 
case of deletion in bst
Case 2. N has exactly one children. N is deleted from the T by simply replacing the location of N in  the parent node of N by the location of the only child of N 

case of deletion in bst

Case 3. N has two children. Let S(N) denote the  in-order successor of N. Then N is  deleted from the T by first deleting S(N) from T and then replacing node N in T by the node S(N)

Types of Binary Trees

•Degenerate – only one child
•Balanced – mostly two children
•Complete – always two children

Binary Trees Properties
Degenerate
Height = O(n) for n nodes
Similar to linear list

-Balanced
Height = O( log(n) ) for n nodes
Useful for searches


Key property Of BST
Value at node
Smaller values in left subtree
Larger values in right subtree
Example
> Y
< Z




Binary Search Properties

Time of search
Proportional to height of tree
Balanced binary tree
O( log(n) ) time
Degenerate tree
O( n ) time
Like searching linked list / unsorted array
Requires

Ability to compare key values

Binary Search Tree Construction

How to build & maintain binary trees?
Insertion
Deletion
Maintain key property (invariant)
Smaller values in left subtree
Larger values in right subtree

Binary Search Tree – Insertion

Algorithm
 Perform search for value X
 Search will end at node Y (if X not in tree)
  If X < Y, insert new leaf X as new left subtree for Y
  If X > Y, insert new leaf X as new right subtree for Y
Observations
O( log(n) ) operation for balanced tree
Insertions may unbalance tree
