What are Sparse Matrices? Explain with example(s)How many different traversals of a Binary Tree are possible? Explain them with example(s). 

Sparse matrices are matrices in which a significant number of elements are zero. These matrices are commonly used in mathematical and computational applications where the matrices are large and only a few of their elements contain non-zero values. In a sparse matrix, the majority of elements are zero, and only a small number of elements contain non-zero values.

Sparse matrices are represented using a variety of storage formats, including Compressed Sparse Row (CSR), Compressed Sparse Column (CSC), and Coordinate List (COO) formats. These formats use different strategies to store the non-zero elements of the matrix more efficiently.

For example, let's consider the following 4x4 matrix:

 | 5 0 0 0 | | 0 0 6 0 | | 0 0 0 0 | | 0 4 0 0 |

This matrix has only 6 non-zero elements out of a total of 16 elements. If we were to represent this matrix using a dense representation, we would need to store all 16 elements. However, by using a sparse matrix representation, we can store only the non-zero elements, resulting in a more efficient representation.

One way to represent this matrix in a sparse format is the COO format, which stores each non-zero element with its row and column index. In the COO format, the above matrix would be represented as follows:

values = [5, 6, 4]
rows = [0, 1, 3]
cols = [0, 2, 1]

The values array contains the non-zero values of the matrix, the rows array contains the row indices of the non-zero elements, and the cols ________ _______ _____ ____ _________.
