Binary is a system of numbers that a computer uses to record data. It is simpler than decimal as its only characters are 0 and 1 while decimal has 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and 9. A computer can more easily record "on off" or 10 than it can 2. in the same way it can more easily record 11 than 3, 100 than 4 101 than 5 110 than 6 etc.

So basically, Binary is just a simpler way of recording the same numbers as decimal, and is much easier for computers to use to store data than decimal as they can just store their bytes as packets of on off on off and that converts on the screen to numbers letters and pixels. oh and your mouse is dependent on binary too.

Is a full binary tree the same as a complete binary tree, or are there differences between the two structures?

A full binary tree is a type of binary tree where each node has either 0 or 2 children. A complete binary tree is a binary tree where all levels are fully filled except possibly for the last level, which is filled from left to right. So, a full binary tree can be a complete binary tree, but not all complete binary trees are full binary trees.


How many types of binary tree?

A binary tree is type of tree with finite number of elements and is divided into three main parts. the first part is called root of the tree and itself binary tree which exists towards left and right of the tree. There are a no. of binary trees and these are as follows : 1) rooted binary tree 2) full binary tree 3) perfect binary tree 4) complete binary tree 5) balanced binary tree 6) rooted complete binary tree

How can you merge two binary search trees into a single binary search tree?

To merge two binary search trees into a single binary search tree, you can perform an in-order traversal on each tree to extract their elements, combine the elements into a single sorted list, and then construct a new binary search tree from the sorted list. This process ensures that the resulting tree maintains the binary search tree property.
