Maximum width of a Binary Tree using preorder traversal
c++,data-structures,tree,binary-tree,binary-search-tree
The main work is being done in getMaxWidthRecur. It's initially given the parameter level = 0. The level parameter is incremented by 1 whenever we recurse down one level in the tree. The recursion will hit each node in the tree exactly once, and for each node in the tree,...
How to assign a string passed through a function to a structure member? C programming
c,struct,binary-tree,binary-search-tree
Arrays are not assignable and, by consequence, not implicitly copyable either. Even if they were, newNode -> s = *tempWord tries to assign a single char to an array. You will have to use strncpy (or memcpy) to copy over the array elements....
Using Diagrams library in haskell (draw binary trees)
haskell,recursion,tree,functional-programming,binary-tree
I think the problem is you're naming giving the inner nodes the same names so connectOutside connects the first names it finds (which happen to be the last nodes in your tree). You can solve this by giving each node a unique name depending on its position: diagTree :: Show...
what is a balanced binary tree and how does it differ than a complete one?
A balanced binary tree is one where every leaf is no more than a certain amount further from the root than every other leaf node. For example, an AVL tree is a balanced binary search tree where: Its left and right subtrees are balanced. The difference between the depth of...

I believe AVL Trees actually satisfy your condition. In an AVL tree, the heights of the two child subtrees of any node differ by at most one; if at any time they differ by more than one, rebalancing is done to restore this property. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVL_tree...

How to compare two strings for a binary search tree
c,binary-tree,binary-search-tree
First I think you should change strcmp(node->string,char s); And replace it with strcmp(node->string,s); In strcmp if the result is greater than zero then the first argument is greater than the second. So if your if else statement evaluates true then node->string is greater than s. And if strcmp is less...

convert binary tree to sum tree in Java
I was running wrong tests. Same code logic will work in Java as well as rightly pointed out in comments that pass by value does not make a difference because value is getting returned. The following is the working Java Code: public static int sumTree(TreeNode node){ if(node == null) return...
trying to insert a node into a tree, but it's not working
You're just assigning new Node(p) to a local variable node, whose value is lost as soon as the function returns. To change the existing tree, your assignment should have the form node.left = new Node(p); or node.right = new Node(p).
Why does binary search tree tend to become unbalanced to the right?
java,algorithm,binary,binary-tree,binary-search-tree
Don't overthink it. It's simply because of the remove operation which always goes to the far left element and removes it. After several of these operations, you would end up with the tree being "heavier" to the right of the tree, regardless of root node or anything else. Even if...
Given a binary tree, design an algorithm which creates a linked list of all the nodes at each depth
c++,linked-list,binary-tree,levels
Here is the solution of above problem. I am putting the complete code. #include <iostream> #include <list> using namespace std; struct Node{ Node *left; Node *right; int data; Node(int d) { left = NULL; right = NULL; data =d; } }; class Binary_Tree{ Node *root; list<list<Node*> > level(Node*); public: Binary_Tree()...
Rope data structure explanation?
Each node has a weight value equal to the length of its string plus the sum of all leaf nodes' weight in its left subtree... A has no right subtree so its value is the sum of the weights of all the leaf nodes (even if A had a...
Removing leaves from Binary Tree not being represented properly
Using the link: Deleting Leaves From a Binary Tree I have found the errors in my code and corrected them using the answer given in the link. Correct Code as follows: private BinaryNode pruneLeaves (BinaryNode p) { // There is a left child if (p.left != null) if (isLeaf(p.left)) //Is...
Is it possible to create an ordering for a list of generic elements?
c++,algorithm,data-structures,binary-tree
There is no such feature in C++ (as of 2015, hence including all standards up to C++14). However, Bjarne Stroustrup has written a proposal to add default comparison operators to the standard. What this essentially does is generating a comparison operator for you, in case you don't declare these operators...
