Node (computer science)A node is a basic unit of a data structure, such as a linked list or tree data structure. Nodes contain data and also may link to other nodes. Links between nodes are often implemented by pointers. Nodes are often arranged into tree structures. A node represents the information contained in a single data structure. These nodes may contain a value or condition, or possibly serve as another independent data structure. Nodes are represented by a single parent node.
Arbre binaire de rechercheEn informatique, un arbre binaire de recherche ou ABR (en anglais, binary search tree ou BST) est une structure de données représentant un ensemble ou un tableau associatif dont les clés appartiennent à un ensemble totalement ordonné. Un arbre binaire de recherche permet des opérations rapides pour rechercher une clé, insérer ou supprimer une clé.
T-treeIn computer science a T-tree is a type of binary tree data structure that is used by main-memory databases, such as Datablitz, eXtremeDB, MySQL Cluster, Oracle TimesTen and MobileLite. A T-tree is a balanced index tree data structure optimized for cases where both the index and the actual data are fully kept in memory, just as a B-tree is an index structure optimized for storage on block oriented secondary storage devices like hard disks.
