A node in a general tree, such as the one in Figure, can have an arbitrary number of children.

a. Describe a Java implementation of a general tree in which every node contains an array of child references. Write a recursive preorder traversal method for this implementation. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this implementation?

b. Consider the implementation of a general tree that this chapter described. Each node has two references: The left one references the node’s oldest child and the right one references the node’s next sibling. Write a recursive preorder traversal method for this implementation.

c. Every node in a binary tree T has at most two children. Compare the oldest-child/next-sibling representation of T described in Part b to the left-child/ right-child representation of a binary tree described in this chapter. Does one representation simplify the implementation of the ADT operations? Are the two representations ever the same?
