Description

Error reported in course pythonds on page VocabularyandDefinitions by user Viktor.Palchyk viktor.palchyk@gmail.com
In Definition One it is written that:
"If each node in the tree has a maximum of two children, we say that the tree is a binary tree."
Then it is stated: "Figure 3 illustrates a tree that fits definition one. The arrowheads on the edges indicate the direction of the connection."
Actually on Figure 3 I can see 3 children for node1.
Isn't it a mistake?

Research direction

The affected entry is the VocabularyandDefinitions page and the disputed asset is Figure 3; start by locating the source for Definition One and that figure. Compare the node's children with the binary-tree definition, then correct whichever course content is inaccurate and verify the rendered page no longer contains the contradiction.
