Because the merkle tree is a binary tree, it needs
an even number of leaf nodes. If there are an odd number of transactions
to summarize, the last transaction hash will be duplicated to create an
even number of leaf nodes, also known as a _balanced tree_. This is
even number of leaf nodes, also known ((("balanced trees")))as a _balanced tree_. This is
shown in <<merkle_tree_odd>>, where transaction C is duplicated.
Similarly, if there are an odd number of hashes to process at any level,
the last hash is duplicated.
