Threaded Binary Tree - Types of Binary Trees

Types of Binary Trees

  1. Single Threaded: each node is threaded towards either the inorder predecessor or successor.
  2. Double threaded: each node is threaded towards both the inorder predecessor and successor.

In Python:

def parent(node): if node is node.tree.root: return None else: x = node y = node while True: if is_thread(y.right): p = y.right if p is None or p.left is not node: p = x while not is_thread(p.left): p = p.left p = p.left return p elif is_thread(x.left): p = x.left if p is None or p.right is not node: p = y while not is_thread(p.right): p = p.right p = p.right return p x = x.left y = y.right

    “... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
    —Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)

    “an endless wind
    Whips at the headstones of the dead and wails
    In the trees for all who have and have not sinned.”
    —Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
