General trees are not binary trees. It is the other way around, however, see the last paragraph for a different answer - explanation first...

A binary tree is one with two possible child nodes, a left node and a right node, either of which might be not present. This particular representation implies a certain order between the node and its children, and if you walk the tree from bottom left to bottom right, you will traverse the nodes in order.

A general tree is one with any number of possible child nodes, including no child nodes, so a binary tree is an example of a general tree, while a general tree is a generalization of a binary tree.

However, in the general tree, the meaning of the child nodes might not have any specific ordering, like those in a binary tree, unless the general tree has other information contained in the node about order, because the concept of left and right has no implied meaning when there are more than two children.

But, as promised, if the general tree has order, it is always possible to represent the general tree as a binary tree - there will just be more nodes, but they will only contain zero, one, or two children, and they will have an implied order.

How many different binary trees and binary?

Infinite (and binary).


There are 8 15 13 14 nodes were there in 4 different trees Which of them could have formed a full binary tree?

In general: There are 2n-1 nodes in a full binary tree. By the method of elimination: Full binary trees contain odd number of nodes. So there cannot be full binary trees with 8 or 14 nodes, so rejected. With 13 nodes you can form a complete binary tree but not a full binary tree. So the correct answer is 15. niraj

Are binary search trees always balanced?

No, binary search trees are not always balanced. Balancing a binary search tree involves ensuring that the height difference between the left and right subtrees of each node is at most 1. Unbalanced binary search trees can lead to inefficient search and insertion operations.
