Answer from AI
Main types of trees used in data structures:
- Binary Tree — each node has at most two children.
- Binary Search Tree (BST) — a binary tree where the left child is less than the parent, and the right child is greater.
- Balanced trees:
- AVL Tree — a binary search tree with height balancing.
- Red-Black Tree — a balanced tree with additional properties to maintain balance.
- B-tree and B+-tree — used in databases and file systems for efficient storage and search.
- Segment Tree — for fast range queries on arrays.
- Trie (Prefix Tree) — for storing strings and fast prefix searches.
- Heap — a specialized tree for implementing priority queues.
Each type of tree is optimized for specific tasks, such as fast search, insertion, deletion, or range processing.
