Deleting a Node from a Threaded Binary Tree
Delete operation in a threaded binary tree refers to the process of removing the specified node from the threaded binary tree.
Before implementing a delete operation, you first need to locate the node to be deleted.
This requires you to implement a search operation.
After the search operation, the node to be deleted is marked as the currentNode and its parent as parent.
Write an algorithm to locate the node to be deleted in a threaded binary tree.

Algorithm to locate the node to be deleted and its parent in a threaded binary tree.
1. Mark the left child of the header node as currentNode.
2. Mark the header node as parent.3. Repeat steps a, b, c, d, and e until the node
to be searched is found or currentNode becomes NULL:
a. Mark currentNode as parent.b. If the value to be searched is less
than that of currentNode, and the left child of the currentNode is a link:
i. Make currentNode point to its left child and go to step 3.
c. If the value to be searched is less than that of currentNode, and the left child of the currentNode is a thread:
i. Make currentNode as NULL and go to step 3.
d. If the value to be searched is greater than that of currentNode, and the right child of the currentNode is a link:
i. Make currentNode point to its right child and go to step 3.
e. If the value to be searched is greater than that of currentNode, and the right child of the currentNode is a thread:
i. Mark currentNode as NULL and go to step 3.

Once you locate the node to be deleted and its parent, you can release the memory of the node to be deleted after adjusting the links and threads appropriately.
Before implementing a delete operation, you first need to check whether the tree is empty or not.
The tree is empty if the left child of the header node is a thread pointing to itself.
If the tree is empty, an error message is shown.
However, if the tree is not empty, there can be three cases:Node to be deleted is a leaf node
Node to be deleted has one child (left or right)
Node to be deleted has two children

However, if there are more than one nodes in the tree, you need another algorithm to delete a leaf node.
1. Locate the position of the node to be deleted. Mark it as currentNode and its parent as parent.
2. If currentNode is the left child of parent:
a. Set the left thread field of parent as zero.
b. Make the left child field of parent as a thread pointing to the inorder predecessor of currentNode.
c. Go to step 4.
3. If currentNode is the right child of parent:
a. Set the right thread field of parent as zero.
b. Make the right child field of parent as a thread pointing to the inorder successor of currentNode.

Implementing a Height Balanced Tree
In a binary search tree, the time required to search for a particular value depends upon its height.
The shorter the height, the faster is the search.
However, binary search trees tend to attain large heights because of continuous insert and delete operations.
Data Structures and Algorithms
Session 16Ver. 1.0
After inserting values in the specified order, the binary search tree appears as follows:Consider an example in which you want to insert some numeric values in a binary search tree in the following order:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

As a result, the binary search tree attains a linear structure.
In this case, the height of the binary search tree is 15.

Now if you want to search for a value 14 in the given binary search tree, you will have to traverse all its preceding nodes before you reach node 14. In this case, you need to make 14 comparisons.
In such a case, the binary search tree becomes equivalent to a linked list.
Defining Height Balanced Tree (Contd.)
This process can be very time consuming if the number of values stored in a binary search tree is large.
Data Structures and Algorithms
Session 16Ver. 1.0
Therefore, such a structure loses its property of a binary search tree in which after every comparison, the search operations are reduced to half.

To solve this problem, it is desirable to keep the height of the tree to a minimum.

The height of the binary search tree has now been reduced to 4.Now if you want to search for a value 14, you just need to traverse nodes 8 and 12, before you reach node 14.In this case, the total number of comparisons to be made to search for node 14 is three.
This approach reduces the time to search for a particular value in a binary search tree.

A height balanced tree is a binary tree in which the difference between the heights of the left subtree and right subtree of a node is not more than one.
In a height balanced tree, each node has a Balance Factor (BF) associated with it.
For the tree to be balanced, BF can have three values:0: A BF value of 0 indicates that the height of the left subtree of a node is equal to the height of its right subtree.
1: A BF value of 1 indicates that the height of the left subtree is greater than the height of the right subtree by one. A node in this state is said to be left heavy.
–1: A BF value of –1 indicates that the height of the right subtree is greater than the height of the left subtree by one. A node in this state is said to be right heavy.

After inserting a new node in a height balanced tree, the balance factor of one or more nodes may attain a value other than 1, 0, or –1.
This makes the tree unbalanced.
In such a case, you first need to locate the pivot node.
A pivot node is the nearest ancestor of the newly inserted node, which has a balance factor other than 1, 0 or –1.
To restore the balance, you need to perform appropriate rotations around the pivot node.

Inserting Nodes in a Height Balanced Tree
Insert operation in a height balanced tree is similar to that in a simple binary search tree.
However, inserting a node can make the tree unbalanced.
To restore the balance, you need to perform appropriate rotations around the pivot node.
This involves two cases:When the pivot node is initially right heavy and the new node is inserted in the right subtree of the pivot node.
When the pivot node is initially left heavy and the new node is inserted in the left subtree of the pivot node.
Data Structures and Algorithms
Session 16Ver. 1.0
Let us first consider a case in which the pivot node is initially right heavy and the new node is inserted in the right subtree of the pivot node.
In this case, after the insertion of a new node, the balance factor of pivot node becomes –2.
Now there can be two situations in this case:If a new node is inserted in the right subtree of the right child of the pivot node.
If the new node is inserted in the left subtree of the right child of the pivot node.

Session 16Ver. 1.0
Summary
In this session, you learned that:A height balanced tree is a binary tree in which the difference between the height of the left and right subtree is not more than one.
A tree becomes unbalanced if any node in the tree attains a balance factor other than 0, 1, or –1.
If the tree becomes unbalanced, you need to balance the tree by performing appropriate rotations around the pivot node.
A graph is defined as a data structure that consists of a set of vertices (nodes) and edges (arcs).
There are two types of graphs:Directed
Undirected
