Best Answer

A degenerate binary tree is one where most or all of the nodes contain only one sub node. It is unbalanced and, in the worst case, performance degrades to that of a linked list. If your add node function does not handle rebalancing, then you can easily construct a degenerate tree by feeding it data that is already sorted.

What is complexity of binary search tree?

The complexity of binary search tree : Search , Insertion and Deletion is O(h) . and the Height can be of O(n) ( if the tree is a skew tree). For Balanced Binary Trees , the Order is O(log n).

What is the height of binary search tree in worst case?

In the worst case a binary search tree is linear and has a height equal to the number of nodes. so h=O(h).


Is B tree a Binary Search Tree?

Yes because there is no real practical use for a binary tree other than something to teach in computer science classes. A binary tree is not used in the real world, a "B tree" is.


Difference between B-tree and Binomial search tree?

A B-tree is a kind of tree data structure which is a generalization of a binary search tree where each node can have more than two children and contain more than 1 value. A Binominal search tree I am not sure of. If you mean Binary search tree, then it is an abstract data structure. Binominal is a term usually used with distributions while Binary is usually used with data. Hope this helps.


What is the difference between extended binary tree and a binary search tree?

A strictly binary tree is one where every node other than the leaves has exactly 2 child nodes. Such trees are also known as 2-trees or full binary trees. An extended binary tree is a tree that has been transformed into a full binary tree. This transformation is achieved by inserting special "external" nodes such that every "internal" node has exactly two children.
