+### Positional Trees
+
+A **positional tree** is a rooted tree in which each child is labeled with a specific positive integer. A **$k$-ary tree** is a positional tree with at most $k$ children/labels. A binary tree is a $2$-ary tree.
+
+A $k$-ary tree is **full** if every node has degree $0$ or $k$. A $k$-ary tree is **perfect** if all leaves have the same depth and all internal nodes have degree $k$. A $k$-ary tree is **complete** if the last level is not filled but all leaves have the same depth and are leftmost arranged.
+
+%%ANKI

+Why aren't terms "complete/perfect" and "nearly complete/complete" quite synonymous?
+Back: In the former, "perfect" trees are a subset of "complete" trees.

+#### Binary Trees

 A **binary tree** $T$ is a structure defined on a finite set of nodes that either

 * contains no nodes, or

-
-A **positional tree** is a rooted tree in which each child is labeled with a specific positive integer. A **$k$-ary tree** is a positional tree with at most $k$ children/labels. A binary tree is a $2$-ary tree.
-
-A $k$-ary tree is **full** if every node has degree $0$ or $k$. A $k$-ary tree is **complete** if all leaves have the same depth and all internal nodes have degree $k$.
