Binary tree - Introduction

Data Structure and Algorithms - Tree - Tutorialspoint
  • A tree is called a binary tree if each node has either 0, 1 or 2 children only.
  • It is a family of Data Structures i.e. BST, Heap tree, Syntax tee, Red Black tree, AVL tree etc. all are binary tree.
  • Types of Binary tree:
    • Strict Binary tree - If each node has either 2 children or none.
    • Full Binary tree - If each non leaf node has 2 children and all the leaf nodes are at the same level
    • Complete binary tree - If all the levels are completely filled except possibly the last level and the last level has all the elements as left as possible.

Quick Sort

According to me, it is the easiest and one of the most important and efficient sorting algorithm. Java 7 also uses quicksort for their .sort() method Time Complexity - O(nlogn) Space Complexity - O(n) -> As we are using recursion, it uses the internal stack In quicksort, we chose a pivot element first (in this program, I chose the last element as pivot) All the elements in any array, which are less than the pivot remains to the left of pivot and all the elements which are greater than the pivot element remains to the right of pivot. To do the above, we first chose last element as pivot element, i as (start-1) and j as start In quicksort, we only have to take care of pivot, i and j Now, we compare if a[i]<= pivot element. If yes, we increment i and swap arr[i] and arr[j] After completing one iteration from start to end, we get a pivot element fixed at its right position. Now, we recursively do this for the left subarray and right subarray to the pivot element. QuickS...

Disjoint Set - Implemented Using Arrays

  What is a Disjoint Set? Well, Wikipedia has the perfect definition -  A disjoint-set data structure (also called a union-find data structure or merge–find set) is a data structure that tracks a set of elements partitioned into a number of disjoint (non-overlapping) subsets. It provides near-constant-time operations to add new sets, to merge existing sets, and to determine whether elements are in the same set. In addition to many other uses, disjoint-sets play a key role in Kruskal's algorithm for finding the minimum spanning tree of a graph. The disjoint set has mainly 3 Operations: makeset() -> makes 'n' number of disjoint sets containing single elements find(currentSet) -> returns the representative/parent of currentSet union(set1,set2) -> merges two disjoint sets represented by set1 and set2 into a new disjoint set.  Before going through code, I would recommend watching this video -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU6udHRIkcc Code: public class Mai...
