Description: Tree representation is a way to structure and visualize hierarchical data through nodes connected by edges. In this representation, each node can have zero or more child nodes and only one parent node, establishing a hierarchical relationship. Trees are fundamental in graph theory as they allow for modeling complex relationships in an intuitive and efficient manner. A tree has distinctive characteristics, such as the root, which is the top node, and leaves, which are nodes without children. This structure is widely used in various areas of computer science, such as data organization, search algorithms, and hierarchical data representation. Tree representation can be carried out in several ways, including parentheses notation, adjacency lists, and adjacency matrices, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The choice of representation method depends on the context and specific requirements of the application. In summary, tree representation is a powerful tool for organizing and manipulating hierarchical data, facilitating understanding and access to information in a structured way.
