Binary Tree Help
I have a project where I need to build a binary tree with random floats and count the comparisons made. The problem I'm having is I'm not sure where to place the comaprison count in my code. Here's where I have it:
public void insert(float idata)
Node newNode = new Node();
newNode.data = idata;
if(root==null)
root = newNode;
else
Node current = root;
Node parent;
while(true)
parent = current;
if(idata < current.data)
comp++;
current = current.leftc;
if(current == null)
parent.leftc = newNode;
return;
else
current = current.rightc;
if(current == null)
parent.rightc = newNode;
return;
}//end insertDo I have it in the right place? Also, if I'm building the tree for 10,000 numbers would I get a new count for each level or would I get one count for comparisons?? I'd appreciate anyone's help on this.
You never reset the comp variable, so each timeyou
insert into the tree, it adds the number ofinserts
to the previous value.Yes, or something like that. I'm not sure what theOP
really means.Yeah, it's hard to be sure without seeing the rest of
the code.Sorry, I thought I had already posted my code for you to look at.
Here's a copy of it:
class Node
public float data;
public Node leftc;
public Node rightc;
public class Btree
private Node root;
private int comp;
public Btree(int value)
root = null;
public void insert(float idata)
Node newNode = new Node();
newNode.data = idata;
if(root==null)
root = newNode;
else
Node current = root;
Node parent;
while(true)
parent = current;
comp++;
if(idata < current.data)
current = current.leftc;
if(current == null)
parent.leftc = newNode;
return;
else
current = current.rightc;
if(current == null)
parent.rightc = newNode;
return;
}//end insert
public void display()
//System.out.print();
System.out.println("");
System.out.println(comp);
} //end Btree
class BtreeApp
public static void main(String[] args)
int value = 10000;
Btree theTree = new Btree(value);
for(int j=0; j<value; j++)
float n = (int) (java.lang.Math.random() *99);
theTree.insert(n);
theTree.display();
}

Help loading a binary tree from file
Hi all,
So I am working on making a 20 question game using a binary tree. I have set it up so each time the user plays, if the computer cannot guess what they are thinking of, they tell the computer and it saves it. I am saving the tree in a text file recursively, in a format that looks something like this:
Do you use it outside?
a shovel
[null]
[null]
is it round?
a ball
[null]
[null]
a TV
[null]
[null]
The problem is now, I am having a very hard time rebuilding the tree when the user restarts the game. As you can see, the "{" indicates the beginning of a path and the "}" is the end. Can someone suggest a nice way to load this back up into my data structure? Thanks!!Cross-post here: [http://www.java-forums.org/java-2d/14237-help-loading-binary-tree-file.html]

Problem with binary tree please help
i am trying to make a binary tree but the problem is that when i print the data only the last value is printed i think i am moving my root. but dont know how to solve it please help me.
public void insert(String n)
// (void)
if (root == null)
System.out.println("Root is null");
TreeNode temp = new TreeNode(n);
System.out.println("\n\n\n\n"+temp.name+"\n\n\n\n\n");
root = rootTemp = temp;
else
System.out.println("Root is not null" +rootTemp.name);
insert(rootTemp, n);
private TreeNode insert(TreeNode v, String n) {
if (v == null)
return new TreeNode(n);
else
if (n.compareTo(v.name) < 0)
v.left = insert(v.left, n);
else
v.right = insert(v.right, n);
return v;
}Are you sure the problem is not in the printing code?
I can't see any obvious mistakes after a quick look... But if "root" is a reference to the root node, what is "rootTemp"? -
I'm writing a binary tree class and am having some trouble with the Insert function. Here is the code for the TreeNode class...
public class TreeNode
TreeNode Left;
TreeNode Right;
String Name;
public TreeNode(String NodeName)
Left = null;
Right = null;
Name = NodeName;
}And this is the code for the Tree class...
public class Tree
TreeNode Root;
public Tree(String RootNode)
Root = new TreeNode(RootNode);
public void Insert(String Name)
InsertNode(Root, Name);
public void InsertNode(TreeNode t, String NodeName)
if (t == null)
t = new TreeNode(NodeName);
else
if (NodeName.compareTo(t.Name) < 0)
InsertNode(t.Left, NodeName);
else if (NodeName.compareTo(t.Name) > 0)
InsertNode(t.Right, NodeName);
else if (NodeName.compareTo(t.Name) == 0)
System.out.println("Entered node that was already in Tree");
}When I enter a new node into a Tree containing just the root, it follows the recursion through once, then creates the new TreeNode as it should. However, the new node is not really recognized by the tree because when I try to insert another node, it only finds the root in the tree and only goes through one recursion. What's wrong?I believe t.Left (or t.Right) is getting set in the line
t = new TreeNode(NodeName);
Since it is a recursive function, when it is called the second time, the "t" that is passed in is actually the original t.left (I think), which is getting set then. -
A Binary Tree Implementation in ABAP
Hi,
Can any one explaine me how to create a binary tree of random numbers with dynamic objects.
Thanks,
Manjula.Hi manjula,
This sample code uses dynamic objects to create a binary tree of random numbers as per your requirement ...pls go through It.
It stores numbers on the left node or right node depending on the value comparison with the current value. There are two recursive subrotines used for the building of the tree and printing through the tree.
For comparison purpose, the same random numbers are stored and sorted in an internal table and printed.
*& Report YBINTREE - Build/Print Binary Tree of numbers *
report ybintree .
types: begin of stree,
value type i,

right type ref to data,
end of stree.
data: tree type stree.
data: int type i.
data: begin of rnd occurs 0,
num type i,
end of rnd.

do 100 times.
generate random number between 0 and 100
call function 'RANDOM_I4'
exporting

importing

store numbers

append rnd.
build binary tree of random numbers
perform add_value using tree int.

Having trouble finding the height of a Binary Tree
Hi, I have an ADT class called DigitalTree that uses Nodes to form a binary tree; each subtree only has two children at most. Each node has a "key" that is just a long value and is placed in the correct position on the tree determined by its binary values. For the height, I'm having trouble getting an accurate height. With the data I'm using, I should get a height of 5 (I use an array of 9 values/nodes, in a form that creates a longest path of 5. The data I use is int[] ar = {75, 37, 13, 70, 75, 90, 15, 13, 2, 58, 24} ). Here is my code for the whole tree. If someone could provide some tips or clues to help me obtain the right height value, or if you see anything wrong with my code, it would be greatly aprpeciated. Thanks!

}You were on the right track with the part you commented out; first define a few things:
1) the height of an empty tree is nul (0);
2) the height of a tree is one more than the maximum of the heights of the left and right sub-trees.
This translates to Java as a recursive function like this:
int getHeight(Node node) {
if (node == null) // definition #1
return 0;
else // definition #2
return 1+Math.max(getHeight(node.left), getHeight(node.right));

Searching for a certain binary tree from another tree........
I have been struggling for a tree search problem for a good while. Now I decide to ask you experts for a better solution :-).
Given a binary tree A. We know that every Node of A has two pointers. Leaves of A can be tested by if(node.right = =node). Namely, The right pointer of every leaf node points to itself. (The left pointer points to the node sits on the left side of the leaf in the same depth. and the leafmost node points to the root. I do no think this information is important, am i right?).
Tree B has a similar structure.
The node used for both A and B.
Node{
Node left;
Node right;
My question is how to test if tree B is a subtree of A and if it is, returns the node in A that corresponds to the root of B. otherwise, return null.
So, the method should look like:
public Node search(Node rootOfA, Node rootOfB){
I know a simple recursive fuction can do the job. The question is all about the effciency....
I am wonderring if this is some kind of well-researched problem and if there has been a classical solution.
Anyone knows of that? Any friend can give a sound solution?
Thank you all in advance.

I think a recursive function will be the easiest to implement (but not the most efficient). In terms of recursive function if you really want to add performance. You could implement your own stack and replace the recursive function with the use of this stack (since really the benefit of recursive function is that it manages its own stack). A non-recursive function with customized well implemented stack will be much more efficient but your code will become more ugly too (due to so many things to keep track of).
Is tree B a separate instance of the binary tree? If yes then how can Tree B be a subset/subtree of tree A (since they are two separate "trees" or instances of the binary tree). If you wish to compare the data /object reference of Tree B's root node to that of Tree A's then the above method would be the most efficient according to my knowledge. You might have to use a Queue but I doubt it. Stack should be able to replace your recursive function to a better more efficient subroutine but you will have to manage using your own stack (as mentioned above). Your stack will behave similar to the recursive stack to keep track of the child/descendant/parent/root node and any other references that you may use otherwise.

Binary Tree in Java - ******URGENT********
HI,
i want to represent a binary tree in java. is there any way of doing that.
thanx
sraphsonHI,
i want to represent a binary tree in java. is there
e any way of doing that.
thanx
sraphsonFirst, what is a binary tree? Do you know how the binary tree looks like on puesdo code? How about a representation in terms of numbers? What is a tree? What is binary? The reason I ask is, what do you know about programming?
Asking to represent a binary tree in java seems like a question who doesn't know how it looks like in the first please. Believe me, I am one of them. I am not at this level yet. If you are taking a class that is teaching binary trees and you don't know how it looks like, go back to your notes.
Sounds harsh, but it is better to hear it from a person that doesn't know either then a boss that hired you because Computer Science was what you degree said. Yet, you don't know how to program?
Telling you will not help you learn. I can show you tutorials of trees would be start on where to learn.

Binary Tree search and print methods
Hello, I'm trying to create a binary tree from inputs of a user. I believe I have the tree set up right because it shows no errors, but I'm getting an error message with a line of code. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Also, I need to create a print method, which prints the tree's entries and a search method which would search the tree for certain record.
public class TreeNode
public static String empName = null;
public static int empNumber;
public static String nextRec = null;
TreeNode left;
String Name;
int Number;
TreeNode right;
public static void main(String[] args)
VRead in = new VRead();
VWrite out = new VWrite();
System.out.println("Enter Choice: ");
System.out.println("A: Enter Employee Information.");
System.out.println("B: Search For Employee.");
System.out.println("C: Print Entire Tree.");
System.out.println("D: Exit.");
System.out.println("_______________________________");
char command = in.readChar();
System.out.println();
switch (command)
case 'A':
case 'a':
inputInfo(in, out);
break;
case 'B':
case 'b':
break;
case 'C':
case 'c':
break;
case 'D':
case 'd':
System.exit(0);
break;
public static void inputInfo(VRead in, VWrite out)
out.write("Enter Employee Name: ");
empName = in.readString();
out.write("Enter Employee Number: ");
empNumber = in.readInt();
System.out.println();
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Enter Choice: ");
System.out.println("A: Enter Employee Information.");
System.out.println("B: Search For Employee.");
System.out.println("C: Print Entire Tree.");
System.out.println("D: Exit.");
System.out.println("_______________________________");
char command = in.readChar();
System.out.println();
switch (command)
case 'A':
case 'a':
inputInfo(in, out);
break;
case 'B':
case 'b':

case 'C':
case 'c':
break;
case 'D':
case 'd':
System.exit(0);
break;
public TreeNode(String empName, int empNumber)
Name = empName;
Number = empNumber;
left = null;
right = null;
public class Tree
TreeNode Root;
public void Tree(String RootNode)
// Errors come from next line
Root = new TreeNode(RootNode, Name, Number);
public void Insert(String Name, int Number)
InsertNode(Root, Name, Number);
public void InsertNode(TreeNode t, String empName, int empNumber)
if (t == null)
t = new TreeNode(empName, empNumber);
else
if (empName.compareTo(t.Name) < 0)
InsertNode(t.left, empName, empNumber);
else if (empName.compareTo(t.Name) > 0)
InsertNode(t.right, empName, empNumber);
else if (empName.compareTo(t.Name) == 0)
System.out.println("Entered node that was already in Tree");
}im sure its something simple, i seem to always look over the small stuff. But i could really use some help on the print and search method tooJust having a quick look over it, and it looks like you are trying to add an extra argument in the TreeNode() method (unless there is a bit of overloading and there is a second treenode method in there) As it is TreeNode only accepts two argumets you have 3
As for printing the tree you would need to flatten it, that is an in order traversal of the tree.
FWIW
I just finished a project at uni that involved at frist writing a BST and then an AVL tree. the full point of these things seems to be to keep students awake at night*

Binary tree using inorder traversal algorithm
I need to draw a Binary tree using Inorder traversal algorithm.. in java applets using rectangles and ellipse objects.. can anyone help me about this ? I will be really thankful to yu
I think this is my psychic Sunday, so here's my attempt at answering
this vaguely stated question. First have a look at this fine piece of
ASCII art:-------------------------------------------- ^ ^
| A T | | |
| | | root
---------L-----------------------R---------+ | v
| B | C | |
| | | |
| | | height
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
-------------------------------------------+ v
<--------------------width------------------->Suppose you have a rectangle 'width' wide and 'height' high. The root
of the tree can be drawn at position T and (if present), two lines can be
drawn to the positions L and R respectively. Now recursively call your
same method using the computed rectangle A and B for the left and
right subtrees L and R respectively.
kind regards,

How to remember the path while traverse a binary tree?
Hi, again, I have difficulty handling tree search problems.
The quesion is How to search for a node from a binary tree A, return true if found meanwhile generate the path which can be used to locate the node.
I think the signature should be:
// The path contains only 0s and 1s. 0 means go left and 1 means go right.
public staic boolean search(Node rootOfA, Node b, ArrayList<Integer> path){
// the class Node only has two fields:
Node{
Node left;
Node right;
I know if there is another field in the Node class (say, a flag), the quesion would be much easier, but the space is really critical.
I tried to use recursion but havn't got a correct solution. I am thinking of usinga non-recursion algo.
Anyone wants to help?Hi, JosAh,
That's mind provoking. However, I do think it works. It does not pop some stuff it should pop. I tested it over a very simple tree and it failed. Did you test it? I might be wrong...
The tree I am working on does not have null pointers, the condition to test if a node is a leaf is if(node.right == right). Namly, all the right pointer of leaves points to itself.
So I changed your code to be:
Stack search(Node root, Node node, Stack<Integer> path) {
if (root == null || root.right ==right) return null;
if (root.equals(node)) return path;
path.push(0);
if (search(root.left, node, path) != null) return path;
path.pop();
path.push(1);
return search(root.right, node, path);
}I simply tested it with
Stack<Integer> path = new Stack<Integer>();
System.out.println( root, root.right.right, path);
root is the root of a complete binary tree with 7 nodes(4 leaves).
Apparenly, if the path is built correctly search(root, root.right.right, path) would return [1,1] whereas this seach returns [ 0 , 1, 1].
Considerring , the right branch never pops, I changed it into
Then I changed it to :
Stack search(Node root, Node node, Stack<Integer> path) {
if (root == null || root.right ==right ) return null;
if (root.equals(node)) return path;
path.push(0);
if (search(root.left, node, path) != null) return path;
path.pop();
path.push(1);
if (search(root.right, node, path) != null) return path;
path.pop();
return path;
With the same test case, it returns [].
I will keep working on it.
Cheers,

Getting the height of a binary tree
So I am trying to create a method in my binary tree class that returns and integer that represents the height of the tree.
I tried to do this recursively and it seems the numbers are close to the actual ones, but never exact and I haven't really been able to find out where the problem lies. This is my code:
public int getHeight()
int height;
height = getHeightRecur(root);
return height;
public int getHeightRecur(BinTreeNode node)
int theight;
if(node == null)
theight = 0;
else
theight = 1 + getMax(getHeightRecur(node.leftN), getHeightRecur(node.rightN));
return theight;
private int getMax(int x, int y)
int result = 0;
if(x>y)
result = x;
if(y>x)
result = y;
return result;
}j2ee_ubuntu wrote:

How to Pretty Print a Binary Tree?
I'm trying to display a Binary Tree in such a way:
________26
___13_________2
1_______4 3_________1
(without the underscores)
however I cannot figure out the display method.
class BinaryNode
//Constructors
BinaryNode leftChild, rightChild;
Object data;
BinaryNode()
leftChild = null;
data = null;
rightChild = null;
BinaryNode( Object d, BinaryNode left, BinaryNode right)
leftChild = left;
data = d;
rightChild = right;
//Height
public static int Height(BinaryNode root)
if (root == null)
return 0;
if ((Height(root.leftChild)) > Height(root.rightChild))
return 1 + Height(root.leftChild);
return 1 + Height(root.rightChild);
//Count
public static int Count(BinaryNode root)
if(root==null)
return 0;
return 1 + Count(root.leftChild) + Count(root.rightChild);
//Display
public static void Display(BinaryNode root)
int level = 2^(Level(root)-1)
for (int i = 1; i<Height(root)+1; i++)
System.out.printf("%-4s%
Display(root, i);
System.out.println();
public static void Display(BinaryNode root, int level)
if (root!=null)
if(level==1)
System.out.print(root.data + " ");
else
Display(root.leftChild, level-1);
Display(root.rightChild, level-1);
//Level
public static int Level(BinaryNode root)
if(root==null)
return 0;
if(root.leftChild == null && root.rightChild == null)
return 1;
return Level(root.leftChild) + Level(root.rightChild);
Edited by: 815035 on Nov 23, 2010 12:27 PMThe example of what the OP wants it to look like I thought was quite plain. Its right at the top of the post.
Unfortunately it is also quite difficult to accomplish using System.out.print statements.
You have to print out the root of the tree first (its at the top)
However you don't know how far along to the right you need to print it without traversing the child nodes already (you need to know how deep the tree is, and how far to the left the tree extends from the root)
So you will need to traverse the tree at least twice.
Once to work out the offsets, and again to print out the values.
The working out of offsets would have to be a depth search traversal I think
The printing of the values in this fashion would be a breadth first traversal.
I remember (ages ago) doing a similar assignment, except we printed the tree sideways.
ie the root was on the left, the leaves of the tree on the right of the screen.
That meant you could do an inorder depth traversal of the tree to just print it once.
hope this helps,
