👉 In computer science and mathematics, an augmentation is a transformation or operation that adds more information to an existing object. It can be used for various purposes such as data compression, reduction of complexity, or optimization in algorithms. For example, if you have a binary tree (a data structure consisting of nodes with keys and values) and you want to reduce the size of the tree without losing any information about its structure, you might apply an augmentation operation that reduces the number of leaf nodes. This can be
