Binary Search Trees
CS 302 – Data Structures
Chapter 8
What is a binary tree?
• Property 1: each node can have up to two
successor nodes.
• Property 2: a unique path exists from the
root to every other node
What is a binary tree? (cont.)
Not a valid binary tree!
Some terminology
• The successor nodes of a node are called its children
• The predecessor node of a node is called its parent
• The "beginning" node is called the root (has no parent)
• A node without children is called a leaf
Some terminology (cont’d)
• Nodes are organize in levels (indexed from 0).
• Level (or depth) of a node: number of edges in the path
from the root to that node.
• Height of a tree h: #levels = L
(Warning: some books define h
as #levels-1).
• Full tree: every node has exactly
two children and all the
leaves are on the same level.
not full!
What is the max #nodes
at some level l?

Why is h important?
• Tree operations (e.g., insert, delete, retrieve
etc.) are typically expressed in terms of h.
• So, h determines running time!
•What is the max height of a tree with
N nodes?
•What is the min height of a tree with
N nodes?
N (same as a linked list)
log(N+1)
How to search a binary tree?
(1) Start at the root
(2) Search the tree level
by level, until you find
the element you are
searching for or you reach
a leaf.
Is this better than searching a linked list?
No  O(N)
Binary Search Trees (BSTs)
• Binary Search Tree Property:
The value stored at
a node is greater than
the value stored at its
left child and less than
the value stored at its
right child
In a BST, the value
stored at the root of
a subtree is greater
than any value in its
left subtree and less
than any value in its
right subtree!
Binary Search Trees (BSTs)
Where is the
smallest element?
Ans: leftmost element
Where is the largest
element?
Ans: rightmost element
Binary Search Trees (BSTs)
How to search a binary search tree?
(1) Start at the root
(2) Compare the value of
the item you are
searching for with
the value stored at
the root
(3) If the values are
equal, then item
found; otherwise, if it
is a leaf node, then
not found
How to search a binary search tree?
(4) If it is less than the value
stored at the root, then
search the left subtree
(5) If it is greater than the
value stored at the root,
then search the right
subtree
(6) Repeat steps 2-6 for the
root of the subtree chosen
in the previous step 4 or 5
How to search a binary search tree?
Is this better than searching
a linked list?
Yes !! ---> O(logN)

trees, guarantee balanced trees.

into a tree matter? (cont’d)

Tree Traversals
There are mainly three ways to traverse a tree:
1) Inorder Traversal
2) Postorder Traversal
3) Preorder Traversal
46
Inorder Traversal: A E H J M T Y
‘J’
‘E’
‘A’ ‘H’
‘T’
‘M’ ‘Y’
tree
Visit left subtree first Visit right subtree last
Visit second
Inorder Traversal
• Visit the nodes in the left subtree, then visit
the root of the tree, then visit the nodes in
the right subtree
Inorder(tree)
If tree is not NULL
Inorder(Left(tree))
Visit Info(tree)
Inorder(Right(tree))
Warning: "visit" implies do something with the value at
the node (e.g., print, save, update etc.).
48
Preorder Traversal: J E A H T M Y
‘J’
‘E’
‘A’ ‘H’
‘T’
‘M’ ‘Y’
tree
Visit left subtree second Visit right subtree last
Visit first
Preorder Traversal
• Visit the root of the tree first, then visit the
nodes in the left subtree, then visit the nodes
in the right subtree
Preorder(tree)
If tree is not NULL
Visit Info(tree)
Preorder(Left(tree))
Preorder(Right(tree))
50
‘J’
‘E’
‘A’ ‘H’
‘T’
‘M’ ‘Y’
tree
Visit left subtree first Visit right subtree second
Visit last
Postorder Traversal: A H E M Y T J
Postorder Traversal
• Visit the nodes in the left subtree first, then
visit the nodes in the right subtree, then visit
the root of the tree
Postorder(tree)
If tree is not NULL
Postorder(Left(tree))
Postorder(Right(tree))
Visit Info(tree)

Traversals:

example
Function PrintTree
• We use "inorder" to print out the node values.
• Keys will be printed out in sorted order.
• Hint: binary search could be used for sorting!
A D J M Q R T
Function PrintTree (cont.)
void TreeType::PrintTree(ofstream& outFile)
{
Print(root, outFile);
}
template<class ItemType>
void Print(TreeNode<ItemType>* tree, ofstream& outFile)
{
if(tree != NULL) {
Print(tree->left, outFile);
outFile << tree->info; // “visit”
Print(tree->right, outFile);
}
}
to overload “<<“ or “>>”, see:

Class Constructor
template<class ItemType>
TreeType<ItemType>::TreeType()
{
root = NULL;
}
Class Destructor
How should we
delete the nodes
of a tree?
Use postorder!
Delete the tree in a
"bottom-up"
fashion
Class Destructor (cont’d)
TreeType::~TreeType()
{
Destroy(root);
}
void Destroy(TreeNode<ItemType>*& tree)
{
if(tree != NULL) {
Destroy(tree->left);
Destroy(tree->right);
delete tree; // “visit”
}
}
postorder
Copy Constructor
How should we
create a copy of
a tree?
Use preorder!
Copy Constructor (cont’d)
template<class ItemType>
TreeType<ItemType>::TreeType(const TreeType<ItemType>&
originalTree)
{
CopyTree(root, originalTree.root);
}
template<class ItemType)
void CopyTree(TreeNode<ItemType>*& copy,
TreeNode<ItemType>* originalTree)
{
if(originalTree == NULL)
copy = NULL;
else {
copy = new TreeNode<ItemType>;
copy->info = originalTree->info;
CopyTree(copy->left, originalTree->left);
CopyTree(copy->right, originalTree->right);
}
}
preorder
// “visit”
ResetTree and GetNextItem
• User needs to specify the tree
traversal order.
• For efficiency, ResetTree stores in
a queue the results of the
specified tree traversal.
• Then, GetNextItem, dequeues the
node values from the queue.
void ResetTree(OrderType);
void GetNextItem(ItemType&,
OrderType, bool&);
Revise Tree Class Specification
enum OrderType {PRE_ORDER, IN_ORDER, POST_ORDER};

  • 31. • Yes, certain orders might produce very unbalanced trees! Does the order of inserting elements into a tree matter?
  • 33. • Unbalanced trees are not desirable because search time increases! • Advanced tree structures, such as red-black trees, guarantee balanced trees. Does the order of inserting elements into a tree matter? (cont’d)
  • 34. Function DeleteItem • First, find the item; then, delete it • Binary search tree property must be preserved!! • We need to consider three different cases: (1) Deleting a leaf (2) Deleting a node with only one child (3) Deleting a node with two children

  • 37. (3) Deleting a node with two children

  • 45. Tree Traversals There are mainly three ways to traverse a tree: 1) Inorder Traversal 2) Postorder Traversal 3) Preorder Traversal
  • 46. 46 Inorder Traversal: A E H J M T Y ‘J’ ‘E’ ‘A’ ‘H’ ‘T’ ‘M’ ‘Y’ tree Visit left subtree first Visit right subtree last Visit second
  • 47. Inorder Traversal • Visit the nodes in the left subtree, then visit the root of the tree, then visit the nodes in the right subtree Inorder(tree) If tree is not NULL Inorder(Left(tree)) Visit Info(tree) Inorder(Right(tree)) Warning: "visit" implies do something with the value at the node (e.g., print, save, update etc.).
  • 48. 48 Preorder Traversal: J E A H T M Y ‘J’ ‘E’ ‘A’ ‘H’ ‘T’ ‘M’ ‘Y’ tree Visit left subtree second Visit right subtree last Visit first
  • 49. Preorder Traversal • Visit the root of the tree first, then visit the nodes in the left subtree, then visit the nodes in the right subtree Preorder(tree) If tree is not NULL Visit Info(tree) Preorder(Left(tree)) Preorder(Right(tree))
  • 50. 50 ‘J’ ‘E’ ‘A’ ‘H’ ‘T’ ‘M’ ‘Y’ tree Visit left subtree first Visit right subtree second Visit last Postorder Traversal: A H E M Y T J
  • 51. Postorder Traversal • Visit the nodes in the left subtree first, then visit the nodes in the right subtree, then visit the root of the tree Postorder(tree) If tree is not NULL Postorder(Left(tree)) Postorder(Right(tree)) Visit Info(tree)
  • 53. Function PrintTree • We use "inorder" to print out the node values. • Keys will be printed out in sorted order. • Hint: binary search could be used for sorting! A D J M Q R T

  • 56. Class Destructor How should we delete the nodes of a tree? Use postorder! Delete the tree in a "bottom-up" fashion

  • 60. ResetTree and GetNextItem • User needs to specify the tree traversal order. • For efficiency, ResetTree stores in a queue the results of the specified tree traversal. • Then, GetNextItem, dequeues the node values from the queue. void ResetTree(OrderType); void GetNextItem(ItemType&, OrderType, bool&);
