Binary TreesCS-2301, B-Term Programming Assignment #5 Binary Trees CS-2301, System Programming for Non-Majors (Slides include materials from The C Programming Language, 2 nd edition, by Kernighan and Ritchie and from C: How to Program, 5 th and 6 th editions, by Deitel and Deitel)

Binary TreesCS-2301, B-Term Assignment Read in a series of text files Keep track of the number of occurrences of each word In the set of files you read Print out a list of words (in alphabetical order) and the number of times each occurs Due Date:– Friday, December 4, 2009, 11:59 PM

Binary TreesCS-2301, B-Term Goals and Objectives Pull together a non-trivial program from resources and algorithms at your disposal Build up and use a massive data structure in the form of a binary tree One entry for each separate word encountered Each entry counts the number of instances of that word Create and write your output file

Binary TreesCS-2301, B-Term By the End of this Assignment… … you should start feeling confident that –You can write a non-trivial C program for any course assignment at WPI –You are capable of learning the things you don’t know on your own –You are beginning to think “computationally” with respect to collecting and organizing data

Binary TreesCS-2301, B-Term makefile or Visual Studio For building your program Note:– we don’t know what the file names of your program components are Only you (and your makefile ) know what needs to be built and how If you are feeling adventurous Build and debug in Visual Studio instead Use Visual Studio project files Clean your project before submitting Zip your files together for submission You will need to learn how to provide command line arguments to your program! Five points extra credit. To be introduced in Lab #6 on December 2.
