Tree-like Data Structures

Tree-like data structures are Branched recursive data structures

Consisting of nodes

Each node can be connected to other nodes

Examples of tree-like structures Trees: binary / other degree,

balanced, etc. Graphs: directed / undirected,

weighted, etc. Networks

Binary trees: most widespread form Each node has at most 2 children

Binary Search Trees Binary search trees are ordered

For each node x in the tree All the elements of the left subtree of x are ≤ x

All the elements of the right subtree of x are > x

Binary search trees can be balanced Balanced trees have height of ~ log(x) Balanced trees have for each node nearly equal number of nodes in its subtrees

Binary Search Trees (2)

Example of balanced binary search tree

If the tree is balanced, add / search / delete operations take approximately log(n) steps

Implementing TreesRecursive Tree Data Structure

Recursive Tree Definition

The recursive definition for tree data structure: A single node is tree Tree nodes can have zero or

multiple children that are also trees Tree node definition in C#

12

public class TreeNode<T>{ private T value; private List<TreeNode<T>> children; …}

The value contained in

the node

List of child nodes, which are of the

same type

TreeNode<int> Structure

13

7 children

19 children 21 children 14 children

TreeNode<int>

1 children

12 children

31 children 23 children 6 children

int value

List<TreeNode<int>> children

Implementing TreeNode<T>

14

public TreeNode(T value){ this.value = value; this.children = new List<TreeNode<T>>();}

public T Value{ get { return this.value; } set { this.value = value; }}

public void AddChild(TreeNode<T> child){ child.hasParent = true; this.children.Add(child);}

public TreeNode<T> GetChild(int index){ return this.children[index];}

The class Tree<T> keeps tree's root node

Implementing Tree<T>

15

public class Tree<T>{ private TreeNode<T> root;

public Tree(T value, params Tree<T>[] children): this(value) { foreach (Tree<T> child in children) { this.root.AddChild(child.root); } }

public TreeNode<T> Root { get { return this.root; } }}

Constructing tree by nested constructors:

Tree TraversalsDFS and BFS Traversals

Tree Traversal Algorithms

Traversing a tree means to visit each of its nodes exactly one in particular order Many traversal algorithms are

known Depth-First Search (DFS)

Visit node's successors first

Usually implemented by recursion

Breadth-First Search (BFS) Nearest nodes visited first

Implemented by a queue18

Depth-First Search first visits all descendants of given node recursively, finally visits the node itself

DFS algorithm pseudo code

Depth-First Search (DFS)

DFS(node)

{

for each child c of

node

DFS(c);

print the current node;

}

Balanced Search TreesAVL Trees, B-Trees, Red-Black Trees, AA-Trees

Balanced Binary Search Trees

Ordered Binary Trees (Binary Search Trees) For each node x the left subtree has

values ≤ x and the right subtree has values > x

Balanced Trees For each node its subtrees contain

nearly equal number of nodes nearly the same height

Balanced Binary Search Trees Ordered binary search trees that

have height of log2(n) where n is the number of their nodes

Searching costs about log2(n) comparisons

Balanced Binary Search Trees

Balanced binary search trees are hard to implement Rebalancing the tree after insert /

delete is complex Well known implementations of

balanced binary search trees AVL trees – ideally balanced, very

complex

Red-black trees – roughly balanced, more simple

AA-Trees – relatively simple to implement

Find / insert / delete operations need log(n) steps

63

B-Trees B-trees are generalization of the concept of ordered binary search trees B-tree of order d has between d and

2*d keys in a node and between d+1 and 2*d+1 child nodes

The keys in each node are ordered increasingly

All keys in a child node have values between their left and right parent keys

If the b-tree is balanced, its search / insert / add operations take about log(n) steps

B-trees can be efficiently stored on the disk

Red-black tree based map of key-value pairs

OrderedSet<T> Red-black tree based set of elements

Graphs and Their Applications

Graphs have many real-world applications Modeling a computer network like

Internet Routes are simple paths in the

network

Modeling a city map Streets are edges, crossings are

vertices

Social networks People are nodes and their

connections are edges

State machines States are nodes, transitions are

edges

most once

79

BFS(node){ queue node visited[node] = true while queue not empty v queue print v for each child c of v if not visited[c] queue c visited[c] = true}

DFS(node){ stack node visited[node] = true while stack not empty v stack print v for each child c of v if not visited[c] stack c visited[c] = true}

Recursive DFS Graph Traversal

Summary Trees are recursive data structure –

node with set of children which are also nodes

Binary Search Trees are ordered binary trees

Balanced trees have weight of log(n) Graphs are sets of nodes with many-

to-many relationship between them Can be directed/undirected, weighted /

unweighted, connected / not connected, etc.

Tree / graph traversals can be done by Depth-First Search (DFS) and Breadth-First Search (BFS)

Trees and Graphs

http://academy.telerik.com/

Exercises1. Write a program to traverse the

directory C:\WINDOWS and all its subdirectories recursively and to display all files matching the mask *.exe. Use the class System.IO.Directory.

2. Define classes File { string name, int size } and Folder { string name, File[] files, Folder[] childFolders } and using them build a tree keeping all files and folders on the hard drive starting from C:\WINDOWS. Implement a method that calculates the sum of the file sizes in given subtree of the tree and test it accordingly. Use recursive DFS traversal.

84

Exercises (2)3. Implement the recursive Depth-First-

Search (DFS) traversal algorithm. Test it with the sample graph from the demonstrations.

4. Implement the queue-based Breath-First-Search (BFS) traversal algorithm. Test it with the sample graph from the demonstrations.

5. Write a program for finding all cycles in given undirected graph using recursive DFS.

6. Write a program for finding all connected components of given undirected graph. Use a sequence of DFS traversals.

85

Exercises (3)7. Write a program for finding the

shortest path between two vertices in a weighted directed graph. Hint: Use the Dijkstra's algorithm.

8. We are given a set of N tasks that should be executed in a sequence. Some of the tasks depend on other tasks. We are given a list of tasks { ti, tj} where tj depends on the result of ti and should be executed after it. Write a program that arranges the tasks in a sequence so that each task depending on another task is executed after it. If such arrangement is impossible indicate this fact.

Example: {1, 2}, {2, 5}, {2, 4}, {3, 1} 3, 1, 2, 5, 4
