Lab 10 — Trees, Binary Trees, & Binary Search Trees
Checkpoint 1
estimate: 20-30 minutes
problem 1: Draw a binary tree with 4 levels with the integers 1-7 such that the sum of elements on every level of the tree is the same.
problem 2: Create a exactly balanced binary search tree with 7 color words (order the colors alphabetically).
problem 3: Draw a exactly-balanced binary search tree containing the letters of the word: uncopyrightable
What is the pre-order traversal of the tree above?
problem 4: Now draw a exactly-balanced binary tree of characters such that a post-order traversal spells the word: uncopyrightable
What is the breadth-first traversal of the tree above?
To complete this checkpoint: When you have finished all of the problems, discuss your answers with your lab TA or mentor.
Checkpoint 2
estimate: 20-35 minutes
Now let’s explore the implementation of the ds_set class, along with the use of recursive functions to manipulate binary search trees. Download and examine the files: ds_set.h and test_ds_set.cpp.
The implementation of find provided in ds_set.h is recursive. Re-implement and test a non-recursive replacement for this function.
To complete this checkpoint: Show one of the TAs your new code. Be prepared to discuss the running time for the two different versions of find for various inputs.
Checkpoint 3
estimate: 20-35 minutes
The implementation of the copy constructor and the assignment operator is not yet complete because each depends on a private member function called copy_tree, the body of which has not yet been written. Write copy_tree and then test to see if it works by “uncommenting” the appropriate code from the main function.
To complete this checkpoint: Test your code and show one of the TAs your new code.
