Suppose you want to perform an experiment to verify the problems that can be caused by random insert/remove pairs. Here is a strategy that is not perfectly random, but close enough. You build a tree with N elements by inserting N elements chosen at random from the range 1 to M = N. You then perform N2 pairs of insertions followed by deletions. Assume the existence of a routine, randomInteger(a, b), which returns a uniform random integer between a and b inclusive. a. Explain how to generate a random integer between 1 and M that is not already in the tree (so a random insertion can be performed). In terms of N and , what is the running time of this operation? b. Explain how to generate a random integer between 1 and M that is already in the tree (so a random deletion can be performed). What is the running time of this operation? c. What is a good choice of ? Why?

Write a program to evaluate empirically the following strategies for removing nodes with two children: a. Replace with the largest node, X, in TL and recursively remove X. b. Alternately replace with the largest node in TL and the smallest node in TR, and recursively remove the appropriate node. c. Replace with either the largest node in TL or the smallest node in TR (recursively removing the appropriate node), making the choice randomly. Which strategy seems to give the most balance? Which takes the least CPU time to process the entire sequence?

Do not assume any information about the type of keys except that they can be ordered (consistently). Your program should run in O(K + logN) average time, where K is the number of keys printed. Bound the running time of your algorithm.

The larger binary trees in this chapter were generated automatically by a program. This was done by assigning an (x, y) coordinate to each tree node, drawing a circle around each coordinate (this is hard to see in some pictures), and connecting each node to its parent. Assume you have a binary search tree stored in memory (perhaps generated by one of the routines above) and that each node has two extra fields to store the coordinates. a. The x coordinate can be computed by assigning the inorder traversal number. Write a routine to do this for each node in the tree. b. The y coordinate can be computed by using the negative of the depth of the node. Write a routine to do this for each node in the tree. c. In terms of some imaginary unit, what will the dimensions of the picture be? How can you adjust the units so that the tree is always roughly two-thirds as high as it is wide?d. Prove that using this system no lines cross, and that for any node, X, all elements in Xs left subtree appear to the left of X and all elements in Xs right subtree appear to the right of X.

Write a general-purpose tree-drawing program that will convert a tree into the following graph-assembler instructions: a. Circle(X, Y) b. DrawLine(i, j) The first instruction draws a circle at (X, Y), and the second instruction connects the ith circle to the jth circle (circles are numbered in the order drawn). You should either make this a program and define some sort of input language or make this a method that can be called from any program. What is the running time of your routine?

(This exercise assumes familiarity with the Java Swing Library.) Write a program that reads graph-assembler instructions and generates Java code that draws into a canvas. (Note that you have to scale the stored coordinates into pixels.)

Two trees, T1 and T2, are isomorphic if T1 can be transformed into T2 by swapping left and right children of (some of the) nodes in T1. For instance, the two trees in Figure 4.74 are isomorphic because they are the same if the children of A, B, and G, but not the other nodes, are swapped. a. Give a polynomial time algorithm to decide if two trees are isomorphic. b. What is the running time of your program (there is a linear solution)?

a. Show that via AVL single rotations, any binary search tree T1 can be transformed into another search tree T2 (with the same items). b.

Suppose we want to add the operation findKth to our repertoire. The operation findKth(k) returns the kth smallest item in the tree. Assume all items are distinct. Explain how to modify the binary search tree to support this operation in O(logN) average time, without sacrificing the time bounds of any other operation.

Since a binary search tree with N nodes has N + 1 null references, half the space allocated in a binary search tree for link information is wasted. Suppose that if a node has a null left child, we make its left child link to its inorder predecessor, and if a node has a null right child, we make its right child link to its inorder successor. This is known as a threaded tree, and the extra links are called threads. a. How can we distinguish threads from real children links? b. Write routines to perform insertion and deletion into a tree threaded in the manner described above. c. What is the advantage of using threaded trees?

Write a program that reads a Java source code file and outputs a list of all identifiers (that is, variable names but not keywords, not found in comments or string constants) in alphabetical order. Each identifier should be output with a list of line numbers on which it occurs.

Generate an index for a book. The input file consists of a set of index entries. Each line consists of the string IX:, followed by an index entry name enclosed in braces, followed by a page number that is enclosed in braces. Each ! in an index entry name represents a sub-level. A (|represents the start of a range, and a |) represents the end of the range. Occasionally, this range will be the same page. In that case, output only a single page number. Otherwise, do not collapse or expand ranges on your own. As an example, Figure 4.75 shows sample input, and Figure 4.76 shows the corresponding output.
