| Question 1 |
Which one of the following property is correct for a red-black tree?
| Every simple path from a node to a descendant leaf contains the same number of black nodes | |
| If a node is red, then one children is red and another is black | |
| If a node is red, then both its children are red | |
| Every leaf node (sentinel node) is red |
Question 1 Explanation:
→ It could be from a binary search tree. The red-black tree tracks every simple path from a node to a descendant leaf that has the same number of black nodes.
→ A red black tree is a kind of self-balancing binary search tree in computer science. Each node of the binary tree has an extra bit, and that bit is often interpreted as the color (red or black) of the node.
→ These color bits are used to ensure the tree remains approximately balanced during insertions and deletions.
→ Balance is preserved by painting each node of the tree with one of two colors in a way that satisfies certain properties, which collectively constrain how unbalanced the tree can become in the worst case.
→ When the tree is modified, the new tree is subsequently rearranged and repainted to restore the coloring properties. The properties are designed in such a way that this rearranging and recoloring can be performed efficiently.
→ The balancing of the tree is not perfect, but it is good enough to allow it to guarantee searching in O(log n) time, where n is the total number of elements in the tree. The insertion and deletion operations, along with the tree rearrangement and recoloring, are also performed in O(log n) time.
