Explanation of Solution

a.

Root node:

  • Root node means highest node in the tree structure, and has no parent.
  • According to the Figure 8.3, the root node is “/user/rt/courses/”, because it is the highest node in the tree structure.

Explanation of Solution

b.

Internal node:

  • Internal node means any node of a tree which has child nodes. It is lso known as an inner node, or branch node.
  • According to the Figure 8.3, the internal nodes are “/user/rt/courses/”, “cs016/”, “cs252/”, “homeworks/”, “programs/”, “projects/”, “papers/”, and “demos/” because, they are the internal nodes in the given Tree.

Explanation of Solution

c.

Descendant node:

  • Descendant node of a node is any node in the path from that node to the leaf node. The immediate descendant of a node is the “child” node.
  • According to the Figure 8.3, the descendant node of “cs016/” contains  are “grades”, “homeworks/”, “programs/”, “hw1”, “hw2”, “hw3”, “pr1”, “pr2”, and “pr3”.
  • Therefore, the total number of descendant node of “cs016/” contains 9.

Explanation of Solution

d.

Ancestor node:

  • An ancestor node of a node is any node in the path from that node to the root node. The immediate ancestor of a node is the “parent” node.
  • According to the Figure 8.3, the ancestor node of “cs016/” is “/user/rt/courses/”.
  • Therefore, the total number of ancestor node of “cs016/” contains 1.

Explanation of Solution

e.

Siblings of node:

  • Sibling of nodes is nodes on the same hierarchical level under the same parent node.
  • According to the Figure 8.3, the siblings of node “homeworks/” are “grades/” and “programs/”.

Explanation of Solution

f.

Subtree:

  • Subtree of the node is defined as a tree which is a child of a node.
  • According to the Figure 8.3, the subtree rooted at node “projects/” are “papers/”, and “demos/”.

Explanation of Solution

g.

Depth of node:

  • The depth of a node is the number of edges from the node to the tree’s root node.
  • According to the Figure 8.3, the depth of node “papers/” are 2 they are “buylow” and “sellhigh”.

Explanation of Solution

h.

Height of a tree:

  • The height of a node is the number of edges on the longest path from the node to the leaf.
  • According to the Figure 8.3, the height of a tree is 4.

Refer to the tree on the picture and answer the following questions 1. Aside from its children, list 2 other descendants of node C. Your answer must be values that are adjacent when the nodes are arranged alphabetically in ascending order. For example, the descendant nodes are: ABX Y. You cannot answer A X since you have skipped B and B Y since X has been skipped. * 2. What is the path from node A to node L? * 3. What is the length of the path from node C to node N? Note: answer with the number's symbol and not the word form of the number.* 4. List 2 nodes that are at level 2 of the tree. Your answer must be values that 1 point are adjacent when the nodes are arranged alphabetically in ascending order. For example, the nodes at a certain level are: A B X Y. You cannot answer A X since you have skipped B and B Y since X has been skipped. * 5. What is the height of the tree? Note: answer with the number's symbol and not the word form of the number.* 6.
