Binary Search Trees Lecture 5 1

Binary search tree sort 2

Binary-search-tree property 3

Binary Search Tree can be implemented as a linked data structure in which each node is an object with three pointer fields. The three pointer fields left, right and p point to the nodes corresponding to the left child, right child and the parent respectively. NIL in any pointer field signifies that there exists no corresponding child or parent. The root node is the only node in the BTS structure with NIL in its p field. 4

Binary-search-tree property 5

Inorder-tree walk During this type of walk, we visit the root of a subtree between the left subtree visit and right subtree visit. 6

Preorder-tree walk In this case we visit the root node before the nodes in either subtree. 7

Postorder-tree walk We visit the root node after the nodes in its subtrees. 8

Searching for maximum 17

Searching for successor The successor of a node x is the node with the smallest key greather than key [ x ] 18

Searching for successor Successor of 15 Case 1: The right subtree of node x is nonempty 19

Searching for successor Successor of 13 Case 2: The right subtree of node x is empty 20

Searching for successor Successor of 4 search until y.left = x Case 2: The right subtree of node x is empty 21

Searching for successor 22  Go upper until y.left = x
