Question 1.
Define tree height. How does it impact complexity?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how long paths might require more steps.
Question 2.
What is a max heap?
Show hintHide hint
Consider who has the highest value in this structure.
3Question 3.
Where is the maximum value located in a max heap?
- Leaf
- Middle
- Root
Show hintHide hint
Recall what makes a max heap different from other trees.
4Question 4.
True or False: The height of a tree influences the time complexity of its operations.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the path length when performing operations.
Question 5.
Given a max heap, how would you determine its height? Provide a theoretical basis for your approach.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how each level doubles the number of nodes added.
Question 6.
Implement a function that constructs a min heap from a list of unsorted values. Outline your approach including time complexity.
Show hintHide hint
What happens to leaf nodes in this process?
