Define the internal path length for a tree as the sum of the depths of all internal nodes, while the external path length is the sum of the depths of all leaf nodes in the tree. Prove by induction that if tree T is a full binary tree with n internal nodes, I is T’s internal path length, and E is T’s external path length, then E = I + 2n for n ≥ 0.

Here we are using induction n
n = number of internal nodes present in the binary tree.
If we say
T = binary tree
Then we can use the following notations:
I(T): internal path lengths of tree
E(T): external path lengths of tree
Base case
If the binary tree does not have any internal nodes then it can either be empty of it can have one node which is the root. In...
