N-ary Tree is a tree data structure where each node can have at most N children, generalizing binary trees.
Key Characteristics:
Applications: File systems, organizational charts, decision trees, game trees, and multi-way search structures.
Operation | Time Complexity | Space Complexity |
---|---|---|
Insert | O(h) | O(1) |
Delete | O(h) | O(1) |
Search | O(n) | O(h) |
Traversal | O(n) | O(h) |
h = height of tree, n = number of nodes
