1. Creating Binary Trees from Input: Sequential and Linked Storage
a. Problem Analysis:
This task requires creating a binary tree from an input character sequence, implementing two storage methods: sequential storage and linked storage. The character ‘@’ in the input sequence represents an empty node.
b. Algorithm Design:
Sequential Storage Method:
- Initialize an array to represent the sequentially stored binary tree.
- Traverse the input character sequence and store characters in the array sequentially.
- Use array indices to represent node positions: for a parent node at index
i, its left child is at2*i + 1and right child at2*i + 2. - Skip ‘@’ characters (empty nodes), storing only actual data.
Linked Storage Method:
- Create a
TreeNodestruct to represent binary tree nodes, containing data, left subtree pointer, and right subtree pointer. - Use a queue data structure to assist in building the tree. Initialize with a root node and enqueue it.
- Traverse the input sequence, dequeuing nodes to create left and right children, then enqueue them.
c. Data Structure Design:
Sequential Storage:
struct TreeNoderepresents binary tree nodes.- Array stores nodes sequentially.
Linked Storage:
struct TreeNoderepresents nodes with data and subtree pointers.- Queue assists in tree construction.
d. Debugging Process:
- Run the program with sample input to build the tree.
- Ensure correct input sequence with ‘@’ for empty nodes.
- Use ‘#’ to mark input completion in linked storage.
- Verify correct sequential and linked storage implementations.
e. Output Results:
- Output includes sequentially stored node data and traversal results for linked storage.
2. Depth-First Traversal Implementation
a. Problem Analysis:
Implement depth-first traversals: pre-order, in-order, and post-order for sequentially stored trees.
b. Algorithm Design:
Pre-order:
- Visit root, then recursively traverse left and right subtrees.
In-order:
- Recursively traverse left subtree, visit root, then right subtree.
Post-order:
- Recursively traverse left and right subtrees, then visit root.
c. Data Structure Design:
- Recursive algorithms.
3. Breadth-First Traversal Implementation
a. Problem Analysis:
Implement level-order traversal for linked storage trees.
b. Algorithm Design:
- Use a queue, starting from root, enqueuing nodes level by level while visiting them.
c. Data Structure Design:
- Queue data structure.
Sample Cases
Inputs: abc@@@d@ef@ and abc@@@d@ef@#
Debugging Process:
- Sequential Storage:
- Input characters: ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘@’, ‘@’, ‘@’, ’d’, ‘@’, ’e’, ‘f’.
- Sequential array:
['a', 'b', 'c', '@', '@', '@', 'd', '@', 'e', 'f'].
- Linked Storage:
- Create root ‘a’, enqueue.
- ‘b’ becomes left child of ‘a’, enqueue.
- ‘c’ becomes right child of ‘a’, enqueue.
- ‘@’ indicates empty left child.
- ‘@’ indicates empty right child.
- ’d’ becomes left child of ‘b’, enqueue.
- ‘@’ indicates empty right child.
- ’e’ becomes left child of ‘c’, enqueue.
- ‘f’ becomes right child of ‘c’, enqueue.
Output Results:
- Sequential Storage:
- Pre-order:
a b d c e f - In-order:
d b a e c f - Post-order:
d b e f c a
- Pre-order:
- Linked Storage:
- Pre-order:
a b d c e f - In-order:
b d a e c f - Post-order:
d b e f c a - Level-order:
a b c d e f
- Pre-order:
