===Definitions=== *'''Child''': A child node is a node extending from another node. For example, a computer with internet access could be considered a child node of a node representing the internet. The inverse relationship is that of a '''parent node'''. If node ''C'' is a child of node ''A'', then ''A'' is the parent node of ''C''. *'''Degree''': the degree of a node is the number of children of the node. *'''Depth''': the depth of node ''A'' is the length of the path from ''A'' to the root node. The root node is said to have depth 0. *'''Edge''': the connection between nodes. *'''Forest''': a set of trees. *'''Height''': the height of node ''A'' is the length of the longest path through children to a leaf node. *'''Internal node''': a node with at least one child. *'''Leaf node''': a node with no children. *'''Root node''': a node distinguished from the rest of the tree nodes. Usually, it is depicted as the highest node of the tree. *'''Sibling nodes''': these are nodes connected to the same parent node.
