Everything about Binary tree

Limited form of tree data structure

In computer science, a binary tree is a tree data structure in which each node has at most two children, referred to as the left child and the right child. That is, it is a k-ary tree where k = 2. A recursive definition using set theory is that a binary tree is a triple (L, S, R), where L and R are binary trees or the empty set and S is a singleton (a single–element set) containing the root.
