Summary

After the linear data structures and hash tables, we’re now ready to introduce the third major kind of structure: trees, which represent hierarchical data. Computer science, like nature, delights in trees: There are a huge number of tree-based structures customized for different problems. In particular, trees are used to construct map data structures that provide useful alternatives to hash tables.
