Non binary trees in java
Hi guys i am used in creating binary trees ,tell me how do we create non binary trees in java.
public class Node {
private final Object payload;
private final Set<Node> children;
public Node(Object payload) {
this.payload = payload;
children = new HashSet<Node>();
// now add methods to add/remove children, a method to do something with the payload (say,
// a protected method that passes the payload to a method specified by some kind of interface),
// and methods to recurse over children.
}Actually rather than using Object probably should have generic-ized the class, but whatever.

HI,
i want to represent a binary tree in java. is there any way of doing that.
thanx
sraphsonHI,

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.

Hi there
Do you have any suggestions about how to implement trees or binary trees in Java?
As far as I know there are already some libraries for that, but I don't know how to use them. Was trying to get some implementation examples but I'm still very confused.
How can I use for example:
removeChild(Tree t)
addChild(Tree t)
isLeaf()

Hi there
I have several questions about binary trees
Let's see, I use TreeMap to create them with the following code:
TreeMap treeMap = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();
treeMap.put("first", "Fruit");
treeMap.put("second","Orange");
treeMap.put("third", "Banana");
treeMap.put("fourth", "Apple");You've defined the map to hold integer keys and strings as values, yet you're trying to add string keys and string values to it: that won't work.
If this is a map how do I define if the data should go to the left or to the right of certain node?That is all done for you. In a TreeMap (using the no-args constructor), you can only store objects that are comparable to each other (so, they must implement the Comparable interface!). So the dirty work of deciding if the entry should be stored, or traversed, into the left or right subtree of a node, is all done behind the scenes.
Also note that TreeMap is not backed up by a binary tree, or a binary search tree, but by a red-black tree. A red-black tree is a self balancing binary tree structure.
Should I have dynamical keys so that they increase automatically when adding new data?
According to a webpage I should use Comparator(), is that to find the data in the tree and retrieve the key?
ThanksI am not sure what it is you want. I am under the impression that you have to write a binary tree (or a binary search tree) for a course for school/university. Is that correct? If so, then I don't think you're permitted to use a TreeMap, but you'll have to write your own classes. -
Binary search tree in java using a 2-d array
Good day, i have been wrestling with this here question.
i think it does not get any harder than this. What i have done so far is shown at the bottom.
We want to use both Binary Search Tree and Single Linked lists data structures to store a text. Chaining
techniques are used to store the lines of the text in which a word appears. Each node of the binary search
tree contains four fields :
(i) Word
(ii) A pointer pointing to all the lines word appears in
(iii) A pointer pointing to the subtree(left) containing all the words that appears in the text and are
predecessors of word in lexicographic order.
(iv) A pointer pointing to the subtree(right) containing all the words that appears in the text and are
successors of word in lexicographic order.
Given the following incomplete Java classes BinSrchTreeWordNode, TreeText, you are asked to complete
three methods, InsertionBinSrchTree, CreateBinSrchTree and LinesWordInBinSrchTree. For
simplicity we assume that the text is stored in a 2D array, a row of the array represents a line of the text.
Each element in the single linked list is represented by a LineNode that contains a field Line which represents a line in which the word appears, a field next which contains the address of a LineNode representing the next line in which the word appears.
public class TreeText{
BinSrchTreeWordNode RootText = null;// pointer to the root of the tree
String TextID; // Text Identification
TreeText(String tID){TextID = tID;}
void CreateBinSrchTree (TEXT text){...}
void LinesWordInBinSrchTree(BinSrchTreeWordNode Node){...}
public static void main(String[] args)
TEXT univ = new TEXT(6,4);

public class TEXT{
int NBRLINES ; // number of lines
int NBRCOLS; // number of columns
String [][] textcont; // text content
TEXT(int nl, int nc){textcont = new String[nl][nc];}
The method InsertionBinSrchTree inserts a word (w) in the Binary search tree. The method Create-
BinSrchTree creates a binary search tree by repeated calls to InsertionBinSrchTree to insert elements
of text. The method LinesWordInBinSrchTree traverses the Binary search tree inorder and displays the
words with the lines in which each appears.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
//InsertionBinTree is of type BinSearchTreeWordNode
BinSrchTreeWordNode InsertionBinSrchTree(String w, int line, BinSrchTreeWordNode bst)
//First a check must be made to make sure that we are not trying to //insert a word into an empty tree. If tree is empty we just create a //new node.
If (bst == NULL)
System.out.println(Tree was empty)
For (int rows =0; rows <= 6; rows++)
For (int cols = 0; cols <= 4; cols++)
Textcont[i][j] = wWhat is the purpose of this thread? You are yet to ask a question... Such a waste of time...
For future reference use CODE TAGS when posting code in a thread.
But again have a think about how to convey a question to others instead of blabbering on about nothing.
i think it does not get any harder than this.What is so difficult to understand. Google an implementation of a binary tree using a single array. Then you can integrate this into the required 2-dimension array for your linked list implemented as an array in your 2-d array.

Drawing Binary Diagrams/Trees in Java
I am needing some of ur expertise. I am requiring to represent a binary decision diagram using Java. The size of the binary decision diagram will vary (e.g. different number of nodes and edges) need some help or advice to find out as to how to do this in Java 2D? and how would it be possible to make the diagram editable (Move, resize).

Non recursive preorder traversal of binary tree
hi,
I am trying to implement a non-recursive traversal of binary tree. I already know the recursive one.
I am trying to do it by using a Stack.
I begin by Pushing the root of an element on to a stack, and then run a while loop in which i pop an element of the stack and get its children from right to left. and push it in the same order on to the stack. So during the next iteration of my while loop the top most element gets popped and its children and pushed on to the stack in the above manner.
but when i pop an element from a stack its popped as an object so i dont know how to access its children.
help me i am really stuck.Hi, I suppose you have something like this :
class Stack {
public void push( Object object ) throws ... { ... }
public Object pop() throws ... { ... }
class Element {
Element elem;
stack.push(elem);
/* because pop() method return an object of type Object
** if you are sure that your stack only contains Element object
** then you need to cast (change the type of) what the pop() method
** returns in this way :
elem = (Element)stack.pop();
...further reading on casting will be a good idea anyway. -

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,
left type ref to data,
right type ref to data,
end of 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

perform add_value using tree int.
enddo.

sort rnd by num.
print sorted random numbers
write: / 'Sorted Numbers'.
write: / '=============='.

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.
Jason

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.

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();

Binary tree for parsing algebraic expressions
hi all
i have a project to do.. i need to read in an algebraic expression, parse it and form a binary tree. later use that tree to evaluate the expressions when the actual value for those variables are passed..
can anyone tell me how to go about doing this.
im a beginner in java..
tksfirst of, your going to need three stacks. The implementation of a stack in JAVA is something that's easy to find, do a forum search. Your going to need a Binary Node as well. One stack will hold the operator elements of your algebraic expression, another will hold the numeric values, and the final will hold your binary nodes:
expression: 4 + 6 - (6 * 9)
now there are some rules that should be followed. Whenever a closing parenthesis is encountered ")", pop an operator, pop two numbers, and create the corresponding binary node.
order of operations:
push 4 onto numberStack
push + onto operatorStack
push 6 onto numberStack
push - onto operatorStack
push ( onto operator Stack
push 6 onto numberStack
push * onto operatorStack
push 9 onto numberStack
")" encountered
Now, your stacks look something like this:
operatorStack: [ +, -, (, *, ) ]
numberStack: [ 4, 6, 6, 9 ]
pop 9 and 6 from numberStack, pop * from operatorStack
build a binaryNode using these three elements
push this node onto the binaryNodeStack
I.E. using the expression above:
/ \ is the resulting binary node once the ")" is received.
6 9
etc.. there are some rules regarding when to pop and build binary nodes, it's been a while since i did this assignment and frankly my brain hurts, hope this gets you started, good luck. -
i have got a binary tree and i need to write a method which can count the number of leaves.
i have written the code as
static int countLeaves(BinaryNode node) {
if (node == null) {
return 0;
else if (node.left == null && node.right == null) {
return 1;
return countLeaves(node.left) + countLeaves(node.right);
}but, how can i put the method in the main funcion, i have tried
int leafCount = countLeaves(root);it gives an error message "non-static variable root cannot be referenced from a static context". How can i solve this problem? Thank you.the code looks like:
public class BinaryTree<AnyType>
public BinaryTree( )
root = null;
public BinaryTree( AnyType rootItem )
root = new BinaryNode<AnyType>( rootItem, null, null );
public void printPreOrder( )
if( root != null )
root.printPreOrder( );
public void printInOrder( )
if( root != null )
root.printInOrder( );
public void printPostOrder( )
if( root != null )
root.printPostOrder( );
public void makeEmpty( )
root = null;
public boolean isEmpty( )
return root == null;
public void merge( AnyType rootItem, BinaryTree<AnyType> t1, BinaryTree<AnyType> t2 )
if( t1.root == t2.root && t1.root != null )
System.err.println( "leftTree==rightTree; merge aborted" );
return;
if( this != t1 )
t1.root = null;
if( this != t2 )
t2.root = null;
public BinaryNode<AnyType> getRoot( )
return root;
private BinaryNode<AnyType> root;
static int countLeaves(BinaryNode node) {
if (node == null) {
return 0;
else if (node.left == null && node.right == null) {
return 1;
return countLeaves(node.left) + countLeaves(node.right);
static public void main( String [ ] args )
BinaryTree<Integer> t1 = new BinaryTree<Integer>( 1 );
BinaryTree<Integer> t3 = new BinaryTree<Integer>( 3 );
BinaryTree<Integer> t5 = new BinaryTree<Integer>( 5 );
BinaryTree<Integer> t7 = new BinaryTree<Integer>( 7 );
BinaryTree<Integer> t2 = new BinaryTree<Integer>( );
BinaryTree<Integer> t4 = new BinaryTree<Integer>( );
BinaryTree<Integer> t6 = new BinaryTree<Integer>( );
t2.merge( 2, t1, t3 );
t6.merge( 6, t5, t7 );
t4.merge( 4, t2, t6 );
// i want to run the method countLeaves here
int leafCount = countLeaves(root);
System.out.println("Number of leaves: "+leafCount);
}
