# Trie
|
||||
|
||||
In computer science, a trie, also called digital tree and sometimes
|
||||
radix tree or prefix tree (as they can be searched by prefixes),
|
||||
is a kind of search tree—an ordered tree data structure that is
|
||||
used to store a dynamic set or associative array where the keys
|
||||
are usually strings. Unlike a binary search tree, no node in the
|
||||
tree stores the key associated with that node; instead, its
|
||||
position in the tree defines the key with which it is associated.
|
||||
All the descendants of a node have a common prefix of the string
|
||||
associated with that node, and the root is associated with the
|
||||
empty string. Values are not necessarily associated with every
|
||||
node. Rather, values tend only to be associated with leaves,
|
||||
and with some inner nodes that correspond to keys of interest.
|
||||
For the space-optimized presentation of prefix tree, see compact
|
||||
prefix tree.
