A perfect binary tree is a type of binary tree in which every internal node has exactly two child nodes and all the leaf nodes are at the same level.
	All the internal nodes have a degree of 2.
Recursively, a perfect binary tree can be defined as:
- If a single node has no children, it is a perfect binary tree of height 
h = 0, - If a node has 
h > 0, it is a perfect binary tree if both of its subtrees are of heighth - 1and are non-overlapping. 
	Python, Java and C/C++ Examples
The following code is for checking whether a tree is a perfect binary tree.
# Checking if a binary tree is a perfect binary tree in Python
class newNode:
    def __init__(self, k):
        self.key = k
        self.right = self.left = None
# calculate the depth of the tree
def calculateDepth(node):
    if node is None:
        return 0
    left_depth = calculateDepth(node.left)
    right_depth = calculateDepth(node.right)
    return max(left_depth, right_depth) + 1
# check if the tree is a perfect binary tree
def is_perfect(root, d, level=0):
    # check if the tree is empty
    if root is None:
        return True
    # check the presence of leaves
    if root.left is None and root.right is None:
        return d == level + 1
    if root.left is None or root.right is None:

Perfect Binary Tree Theorems
- A perfect binary tree of height h has 
2h + 1– 1node. - A perfect binary tree with n nodes has height 
log(n + 1) – 1 = Θ(ln(n)). - A perfect binary tree of height h has 
2hleaf nodes. - The average depth of a node in a perfect binary tree is 
Θ(ln(n)).
