Class FloatBTNode

java.lang.Object
  extended by edu.colorado.nodes.FloatBTNode

public class FloatBTNode
extends java.lang.Object

A FloatBTNode provides a node for a binary tree. Each node contains a piece of data (which is a reference to an object) and references to a left and right child. The references to children may be null to indicate that there is no child. The reference stored in a node can also be null.

Limitations:
Beyond Int.MAX_VALUE elements, treeSize, is wrong.

Constructor Detail

FloatBTNode

public FloatBTNode(float initialData,
                   FloatBTNode initialLeft,
                   FloatBTNode initialRight)
Initialize a FloatBTNode with a specified initial data and links children. Note that a child link may be the null reference, which indicates that the new node does not have that child.

Parameters:
initialData - the initial data of this new node
initialLeft - a reference to the left child of this new node--this reference may be null to indicate that there is no node after this new node.
initialRight - a reference to the right child of this new node--this reference may be null to indicate that there is no node after this new node.
Postcondition:
This node contains the specified data and links to its children.
Method Detail

getData

public float getData()
Accessor method to get the data from this node.

Parameters:
- - none
Returns:
the data from this node

getLeft

public FloatBTNode getLeft()
Accessor method to get a reference to the left child of this node.

Parameters:
- - none
Returns:
a reference to the left child of this node (or the null reference if there is no left child)

getLeftmostData

public float getLeftmostData()
Accessor method to get the data from the leftmost node of the tree below this node.

Parameters:
- - none
Returns:
the data from the deepest node that can be reached from this node by following left links.

getRightmostData

public float getRightmostData()
Accessor method to get the data from the rightmost node of the tree below this node.

Parameters:
- - none
Returns:
the data from the deepest node that can be reached from this node by following right links.

getRight

public FloatBTNode getRight()
Accessor method to get a reference to the right child of this node.

Parameters:
- - none
Returns:
a reference to the right child of this node (or the null reference if there is no right child)

inorderPrint

public void inorderPrint()
Uses an inorder traversal to print the data from each node at or below this node of the binary tree.

Parameters:
- - none
Postcondition:
The data of this node and all its descendants have been writeen by System.out.println( ) using an inorder traversal.

isLeaf

public boolean isLeaf()
Accessor method to determine whether a node is a leaf.

Parameters:
- - none
Returns:
true (if this node is a leaf) or false (if this node is not a leaf.

preorderPrint

public void preorderPrint()
Uses a preorder traversal to print the data from each node at or below this node of the binary tree.

Parameters:
- - none
Postcondition:
The data of this node and all its descendants have been writeen by System.out.println( ) using a preorder traversal.

postorderPrint

public void postorderPrint()
Uses a postorder traversal to print the data from each node at or below this node of the binary tree.

Parameters:
- - none
Postcondition:
The data of this node and all its descendants have been writeen by System.out.println( ) using a postorder traversal.

print

public void print(int depth)
Uses an inorder traversal to print the data from each node at or below this node of the binary tree, with indentations to indicate the depth of each node.

Parameters:
depth - the depth of this node (with 0 for root, 1 for the root's children, and so on)(
Precondition:
depth is the depth of this node.
Postcondition:
The data of this node and all its descendants have been writeen by System.out.println( ) using an inorder traversal. The indentation of each line of data is four times its depth in the tree. A dash "--" is printed at any place where a child has no sibling.

removeLeftmost

public FloatBTNode removeLeftmost()
Remove the leftmost most node of the tree below this node.

Parameters:
- - none
Postcondition:
The tree starting at this node has had its leftmost node removed (i.e., the deepest node that can be reached by following left links). The return value is a reference to the root of the new (smaller) tree. This return value could be null if the original tree had only one node (since that one node has now been removed).

removeRightmost

public FloatBTNode removeRightmost()
Remove the rightmost most node of the tree below this node.

Parameters:
- - none
Postcondition:
The tree starting at this node has had its rightmost node removed (i.e., the deepest node that can be reached by following right links). The return value is a reference to the root of the new (smaller) tree. This return value could be null if the original tree had only one node (since that one node has now been removed).

setData

public void setData(float newData)
Modification method to set the data in this node.

Parameters:
newData - the new data to place in this node

The data of this node has been set to newData.

setLeft

public void setLeft(FloatBTNode newLeft)

Parameters:
newLeft - a reference to the node that should appear as the left child of this node (or the null reference if there is no left child for this node)
Postcondition:
The link to the left child of this node has been set to newLeft. Any other node (that used to be the left child) is no longer connected to this node.

setRight

public void setRight(FloatBTNode newRight)
Modification method to set the link to the right child of this node.

Parameters:
newLeft - a reference to the node that should appear as the right child of this node (or the null reference if there is no right child for this node)

The link to the right child of this node has been set to newRight. Any other node (that used to be the right child) is no longer connected to this node.

treeCopy

public static FloatBTNode treeCopy(FloatBTNode source)
Copy a binary tree.

Parameters:
source - a reference to the root of a binary tree that will be copied (which may be an empty tree where source is null)
Returns:
The method has made a copy of the binary tree starting at source. The return value is a reference to the root of the copy.
Throws:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError - Indicates that there is insufficient memory for the new tree.

Count the number of nodes in a binary tree.

Parameters:
root - a reference to the root of a binary tree (which may be an empty tree where source is null)
