Trees

1. Trees

2. Chapter 11 • Trees • Overview • Trees are a flexible data structure useful for solving a wide range of problems.

3. Chapter Objectives • 1. Trees represent data in a hierarchical manner. • 2. Binary search trees allow rapid retrieval by key, plus in-order processing. • 3. Inheritance can be used to model “is-a” relationships and support code reuse.

4. A Tree A B C D E F

5. A binary tree A B C D E F G H I J K L M N

6. Terminology • Node - tree element • Root - the node at the top • Parent/child nodes • Siblings - have the same parent • Levels - start with 0 • Depth - the level of a node • Internal nodes - nodes with children • Leaves - nodes without children • Height - Depth of the deepest leaf • Degree - number of child nodes

7. Binary tree definition • A binary tree is either: • 1. an empty tree; or • 2. consists of a node, called a root, and two children, left and right, each of which are themselves binary trees.

8. A Binary Tree

9. Two distinct Binary Trees

10. Expression trees • 3+7*2-1 • 3+(7*2)-1 grouping for * precedence • (3+(7*2))-1 left->right associative + vs. -

15. Binary Tree ADT • Characteristics • • A Binary Tree ADT T stores data of some type (btElementType • Operations • isEmpty • getData • insert • left • right • makeLeft • makeRight

16. Binary tree interface file • template < class btElementType > • class BinaryTree { • public: • BinaryTree(); • bool isEmpty() const; • // Precondition: None. • // Postcondition: None. • // Returns: true if and only if T is an empty tree

17. getData(), insert() • btElementType getData() const; // getData is an accessor • // Precondition: !this->isEmpty() • // Postcondition: None • // Returns: data associated with the root of the tree • void insert(const btElementType & d); • // Precondition: none • // Postconditions: this->getData() == d; !this->isEmpty()

18. left() and right() • BinaryTree * left(); • // Precondition: !this->isEmpty() • // Postcondition: None • // Returns: (a pointer to) the left child of T • BinaryTree * right(); • // Precondition: !this->isEmpty() • // Postcondition: None • // Returns: (a pointer to) the right child of T

19. makeLeft(), makeRight() • void makeLeft(BinaryTree * T1); • // Precondition: !this->isEmpty(); this->left()->isEmpty() • // Postcondition: this->left() == T1 • void makeRight(BinaryTree * T1); • // Precondition: !this->isEmpty(); this->right()->isEmpty() • // Postcondition: this->right() == T1

20. Private section • private: • bool nullTree; • btElementType treeData; • BinaryTree * leftTree; • BinaryTree * rightTree; • }; nullTree { f/t} data left right

21. Implementation file: constructor • template < class btElementType > • BinaryTree < btElementType > :: BinaryTree() • { • nullTree = true; • leftTree = 0; • rightTree = 0; • }

22. isEmpty() • template < class btElementType > • bool • BinaryTree < btElementType > :: isEmpty() const • { • return nullTree; • }

23. getData() • template < class btElementType > • btElementType • BinaryTree < btElementType > :: getData() const • { • assert(!isEmpty()); • return treeData; • }

24. insert() • template < class btElementType > • void BinaryTree < btElementType > • :: insert(const btElementType & d) • { treeData = d; • if (nullTree) { • nullTree = false; • leftTree = new BinaryTree; • rightTree = new BinaryTree; • } }

25. left() • template < class btElementType > • BinaryTree < btElementType > * • BinaryTree < btElementType > :: left() • { assert(!isEmpty()); • return leftTree; • }

26. right() • template < class btElementType > • BinaryTree < btElementType > * • BinaryTree < btElementType > :: right() • { assert(!isEmpty()); • return rightTree; • }

27. makeLeft() • template < class btElementType > • void BinaryTree < btElementType > • :: makeLeft(BinaryTree * T1) • { assert(!isEmpty()); • assert(left()->isEmpty()); • delete left(); // could be nullTree true, w/data • leftTree = T1; • }

28. makeRight() • template < class btElementType > • void BinaryTree < btElementType > • :: makeRight(BinaryTree * T1) • { assert(!isEmpty()); • assert(right()->isEmpty()); • delete right(); • rightTree = T1; • }

30. Simple client for Binary Tree • int main() • { typedef BinaryTree < char > charTree; • typedef charTree * charTreePtr; • // Create left subtree (rooted at B) • // Create B's left subtree • charTreePtr bt1(new charTree); • bt1->insert('D'); • // Create B's right subtree • charTreePtr bt2(new charTree); • bt2->insert('E'); D bt1 E bt2

31. Create tree • // Create node containing B, and link • // up to subtrees • charTreePtr bt3(new charTree); • bt3->insert('B'); • bt3->makeLeft(bt1); • bt3->makeRight(bt2); • // ** done creating left subtree bt3 B bt1 bt2 D E

32. Create right subtree • // Create C's right subtree • charTreePtr bt4(new charTree); • bt4->insert('F'); • // Create node containing C, and link • // up its right subtree • charTreePtr bt5(new charTree); • bt5->insert('C'); • bt5->makeRight(bt4); • // ** done creating right subtree bt5 C F bt4

33. Create the root of the tree • charTreePtr bt6(new charTree); • bt6->insert('A'); • bt6->makeLeft(bt3); • bt6->makeRight(bt5); • // print out the root • cout << "Root contains: " << bt6->getData() << endl;

39. Typedefs (creates the tree) • typedef evalNode * evalNodePtr; // Pointer to an evalNode • // An evalTree is a BinaryTree of pointers to evalNodes • typedef BinaryTree < evalNodePtr > evalTree; • typedef evalTree * evalTreePtr; // Pointer to an evalTree • double evaluateTree(evalTreePtr t);

40. Implementation file: polymorphism • evalNode::evalNode(double d) // creates operand node • { nodeType = evalOperand; • nodeOperand = d; • } • evalNode::evalNode(evalOperatorType op) • { nodeType = evalOperator; • nodeOperator = op; // creates operator node • }

41. getType(), getOperand() • evalNodeType • evalNode::getType() const • { return nodeType; } // operator or operand • double • evalNode::getOperand() const • { assert(nodeType == evalOperand); • return nodeOperand; • }

42. getOperator() • evalOperatorType • evalNode::getOperator() const • { • assert(nodeType == evalOperator); • return nodeOperator; • }

43. evaluateTree() • double evaluateTree(evalTreePtr t) • { • assert(!t->isEmpty()); • evalNodePtr rootNodePtr = t->getData(); • if (rootNodePtr->getType() == evalOperand) • return rootNodePtr->getOperand();

44. What kind of traversal is this? • else { • double left(evaluateTree(t->left())); • double right(evaluateTree(t->right())); • switch(rootNodePtr->getOperator()) { • case add: return left + right; • case subtract: return left - right; • case multiply: return left * right; • case divide: • assert(right); // avoids div by 0 • return left / right; • } // switch • } // else • } // evaluate tree

45. Using the expression tree • int main() • { • evalTreePtr et1(new evalTree); • et1->insert(new evalNode(subtract)); • evalTreePtr et2(new evalTree); • et2->insert(new evalNode(add)); • evalTreePtr et3(new evalTree); • et3->insert(new evalNode(1.0)); - et1 + et2 1.0 et3

46. et1->makeLeft(et2); et1->makeRight(et3); • evalTreePtr et4(new evalTree); • et4->insert(new evalNode(3.0)); • evalTreePtr et5(new evalTree); • et5->insert(new evalNode(multiply)); • et2->makeLeft(et4); et2->makeRight(et5); • evalTreePtr et6(new evalTree); • et6->insert(new evalNode(7.0)); - et1 et2 et3 + 1.0 et4 et5 3.0 * 7.0 et6

47. evalTreePtr et7(new evalTree); • et7->insert(new evalNode(2.0)); • et5->makeLeft(et6); • et5->makeRight(et7); • cout << evaluateTree(et1) << endl; • return 0; • } - et1 et2 et3 + 1.0 et4 et5 3.0 * et7 et6 2.0 7.0

48. Methods of tree traversal • Must visit every element once • Must no miss any • Three basic types • preorder • inorder • postorder

49. Preorder traversal • if the tree is not empty • visit the root • preOrderTraverse(left child) • preOrderTraverse(right child)

50. Inorder traversal • if the tree is not empty • inOrderTraverse(left child) • visit the root • inOrderTraverse(right child)
