Binary Trees

Trees are a recursive data structure, like array and linked lists, but they connect nodes in a parent/child relationship. For example, every array is made up of smaller arrays. Similiarly, a tree is made up of smaller trees. If we were to remove a node from a tree, we would still have a tree.


Inner and Outer Joins

A SQL JOIN is a way to combne roys from two or more tables based on a common column between them. Relational databases allow us to store related data and then retrieve that data in ways that reflect its interconnectivity.
