Question:

We can represent a path from the root to a given node of a binary tree by means of a binary string, where 0 means €œgo to the left child€ and 1 means €œgo to the right child.€ For example, the path from the root to the node storing (8,W) in the heap of Figure 9.12a is represented by €œ101.€ Design an O(logn)-time algorithm for finding the last node of a complete binary tree with n nodes, based on the above representation. Show how this algorithm can be used in the implementation of a complete binary tree by means of a linked structure that does not keep an explicit reference to the last node instance.
