An exponential tree is almost identical to a binary search tree, with the exception that the dimension of the tree is not the same at all levels. In a normal binary search tree, each node has a dimension (d) of 1, and has 2d children. In an exponential tree, the dimension equals the depth of the node, with the root node having a d = 1. So the second level can hold two nodes, the third can hold eight nodes, the fourth 64 nodes, and so on.

Famous quotes containing the word tree:
“Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”
—Bible: Hebrew Genesis 1:29.
But in a later context, God told the disgraced Adam, “and thou shalt eat the herb of the field” (Genesis 3:18)
