Data Structures and Algorithms Session 13 Ver. 1.0 Storing Data in a Tree Consider a scenario where you are required to represent the directory structure of your operating system. The directory structure contains various folders and files. A folder may further contain any number of sub folders and files. In such a case, it is not possible to represent the structure linearly because all the items have a hierarchical relationship among themselves. In such a case, it would be good if you have a data structure that enables you to store your data in a nonlinear fashion. Directory structure

Data Structures and Algorithms Session 13 Ver. 1.0 Implementing a Binary Search Tree Consider a scenario. SysCall Ltd. is a cellular phone company with millions of customers spread across the world. Each customer is assigned a unique identification number (id). Individual customer records can be accessed by referring to the respective id. These ids need to be stored in a sorted manner in such a way so that you can perform various transactions, such as retrieval, insertion, and deletion, easily.

Data Structures and Algorithms Session 13 Ver. 1.0 Which data structure will you use to store the id of the customers? Can you implement an array? Search operation in an array is fast. However, insertion and deletion in an array is complex in nature. In this case, the total number of customer ids to be stored is very large. Therefore, insertion and deletion will be very time consuming. Can you implement a linked list? Insert and delete operation in a linked is fast. However, linked lists allow only sequential search. If you need to access a particular customer id, which is located near the end of the list, then it would require you to visit all the preceding nodes, which again can be very time consuming. Therefore, you need to implement a data structure that provides the advantages of both arrays as well as linked lists. A binary search tree combines the advantages of both arrays and linked lists. Implementing a Binary Search Tree (Contd.)

Data Structures and Algorithms Session 13 Ver. 1.0 Binary search tree is a binary tree in which every node satisfies the following conditions: All values in the left subtree of a node are less than the value of the node. All values in the right subtree of a node are greater than the value of the node. The following is an example of a binary search tree Defining a Binary Search Tree

Data Structures and Algorithms Session 13 Ver. 1.0 You can implement various operations on a binary search tree: Traversal Search Insert Delete Defining a Binary Search Tree (Contd.)

Data Structures and Algorithms Session 13 Ver. 1.0 Searching a Node in a Binary Search Tree Search operation refers to the process of searching for a specified value in the tree. To search for a specific value, you need to perform the following steps: 1.Make currentNode point to the root node 2.If currentNode is null: a.Display “Not Found” b.Exit 3.Compare the value to be searched with the value of currentNode. Depending on the result of the comparison, there can be three possibilities: a.If the value is equal to the value of currentNode: i. Display “Found” ii. Exit b.If the value is less than the value of currentNode: i. Make currentNode point to its left child ii. Go to step 2 c.If the value is greater than the value of currentNode: i. Make currentNode point to its right child ii. Go to step 2

Data Structures and Algorithms Session 13 Ver. 1.0 Inserting Nodes in a Binary Search Tree Before inserting a node in a binary search tree, you first need to check whether the tree is empty or not. If the tree is empty, make the new node as root. If the tree is not empty, you need to locate the appropriate position for the new node to be inserted. This requires you to locate the parent of the new node to be inserted. Once the parent is located, the new node is inserted as the left child or right child of the parent. To locate the parent of the new node to be inserted, you need to implement a search operation in the tree. Write an algorithm to locate the position of a new node to be inserted in a binary search tree.

Data Structures and Algorithms Session 13 Ver. 1.0 Deleting Nodes from a Binary Search Tree Delete operation in a binary search tree refers to the process of deleting the specified node from the tree. Before implementing a delete operation, you first need to locate the position of the node to be deleted and its parent. To locate the position of the node to be deleted and its parent, you need to implement a search operation. Write an algorithm to locate the position of the node to deleted from a binary search tree.

Execute the following steps to locate Inorder_suc: a.Mark the right child of currentNode as Inorder_suc. b.Repeat until the left child of Inorder_suc becomes NULL: i.Make Inorder_suc point to its left child. 3.Replace the information held by currentNode with that of Inorder_suc. 4.If the node marked Inorder_suc is a leaf node: a.Delete the node marked Inorder_suc by using the algorithm for Case I. 5.If the node marked Inorder_suc has one child: a.Delete the node marked Inorder_suc by using the algorithm for Case II root currentNode parent.

Data Structures and Algorithms Session 13 Ver. 1.0 Activity: Implementing a Binary Search Tree Problem Statement: Write a program to implement insert and traverse operations on a binary search tree that contains the words in a dictionary.

Data Structures and Algorithms Session 13 Ver. 1.0 In this session, you learned that: A tree is a nonlinear data structure that represents a hierarchical relationship among the various data elements. A binary tree is a specific type of tree in which each node can have a maximum of two children. Binary trees can be implemented by using arrays as well as linked lists, depending upon requirement. Traversal of a tree is the process of visiting all the nodes of the tree once. There are three types of traversals, namely inorder, preorder, and postorder traversal. Binary search tree is a binary tree in which the value of the left child of a node is always less than the value of the node, and the value of the right child of a node is greater than the value of the node. Summary

Data Structures and Algorithms Session 13 Ver. 1.0 Inserting a node in a binary search tree requires you to first locate the appropriate position for the node to be inserted. You need to check for the following three cases before deleting a node from a binary search tree. If the node to be deleted is the leaf node If the node to be deleted has one child (left or right) If the node to be deleted has two children Summary (Contd.)
