• Key Concepts: 
  A leaf node is a type of node in the SAP ABAP Runtime Environment. It is a terminal node in a tree structure, meaning it has no children nodes. Leaf nodes are used to store data and can be accessed by other nodes in the tree. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Leaf nodes are used to store data in the SAP ABAP Runtime Environment. They can be accessed by other nodes in the tree, allowing for efficient data retrieval. Leaf nodes can also be used to store information about the structure of the tree, such as the number of levels and the number of nodes at each level. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a tree structure in the SAP ABAP Runtime Environment, it is important to consider how leaf nodes will be used. Leaf nodes should be placed at the end of each branch of the tree, as this will make it easier to access data stored in them. Additionally, leaf nodes should be placed close to their parent node, as this will make it easier to traverse the tree structure. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Leaf nodes are similar to other types of nodes in the SAP ABAP Runtime Environment, such as internal nodes and root nodes. Internal nodes are used to store data and can have multiple children, while root nodes are used to define the structure of the tree and have no children. Understanding how these different types of nodes work together is essential for creating efficient tree structures in SAP ABAP Runtime Environment.
