1 Tree's Advantage

      Why might you want to use a tree? Usually, because it combines the advantage of two other structures: an ordered array and a linked list. You can search a tree quickly like an ordered array, as you can  also insert and delete items quickly, as you can with a linked list.

    Slow insertion in an ordered array. If you want to insert a new item into an ordered array, you first need to find where the item will go, and then move  all the items with greater keys up on space in the array to make room for it. These multiple moves are time-consuming. Deletion involves the same multimove operation and is thus equally slow.

     Slow searching in a linked list. Finding a specified element in a linked list is not so easy. You must start at the beginning of the list and visit each element until you find the one you're looking for.

2 Binary Search Tree

       A binary search tree has these characteristics: A node's left child must have a key less than its parent, and a node's right child must have a key greater than or equal to its parent.  The following figure shows a binary search tree. 

      A binary search tree average time takes O(log n), the best time takes O(n) which occurs when the items in the tree are already sorted that are all in one side of the tree.

 2.2 Trees Represented as Arrays

   In the array approach, the nodes are stored in an array and are not linked by references. The position of the node in the array corresponds to its position in the tree.

   Every position in the tree, whether it represents an existing node or not, corresponds to a cell in the array. Adding a node at a given position in the tree means inserting
the node into the equivalent cell in the array. Cells representing tree positions with no nodes are filled with 0 or null.

 If a node’s index number is index, this node’s left child is

2*index + 1
its right child is
2*index + 2
and its parent is
(index-1) / 2

You can check this out by the following picture:

    In most situations, representing a tree with an array isn’t very efficient. Unfilled nodes and deleted nodes leave holes in the array, wasting memory. Even worse, when deletion of a node involves moving subtrees, every node in the subtree must be moved to its new location in the array, which is time-consuming in large trees. 

   However, if deletions aren’t allowed, the array representation may be useful, especially if obtaining memory for each node dynamically is, for some reason, too time-consuming. The array representation may also be useful in special situations, like heap usually implemented as an array.

3 Red Black Tree

   A binary search tree is not unbalanced, we can use balanced trees like red-black tree to improve and guarantee the best time O(log n) of binary tree.

When inserting or deleting a new node, certain rules, which we call the red-black rules., must be followed. If they're followed, the tree will be balanced. The flowing figure is a red black tree.
