Tree

binary search tree, children on the left < x < children on right side
insertion and search complexity O(logN) delete is complicated.

hashing: http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~cs251/OldCourses/1997/topic12/

One advantage balanced binary search trees have over hash tables is that they also retain a relative ordering among their contents. While the other operations aren't quite as fast as a hash table (refer to the table below), logarithmic time is certainly not bad by any means. However, if you're not interested in the ordering of its items or frequent iterating, a hash table is certainly the way to go.

preorder recrusive or not

public void iterativePreorder() {
        BSTNode<E> p = root;
        Stack<BSTNode<E>> stack = new Stack<BSTNode<E>>();
        if (p != null) {
            stack.push(p);

            while (!stack.isEmpty()) {
                p = (BSTNode<E>) stack.pop();
                visit(p);
                if (p.right != null)
                    stack.push(p.right);
                if (p.left != null)
                    stack.push(p.left);
            }
        }
    }

inorder non recursive

public void iterativeInorder() {
        BSTNode<E> p = root;
        Stack<BSTNode<E>> stack = new Stack<BSTNode<E>>();
        while (p != null) {
 
            while (p != null) {
                if (p.right != null)    stack.push(p.right);
                stack.push(p);
                p = p.left;
            }
 
            p = (BSTNode<E>) stack.pop();
            while (!stack.isEmpty() && p.right == null) {
                visit(p);
                p = (BSTNode<E>) stack.pop();
            }
            visit(p);
            if (!stack.isEmpty()) {
                p = (BSTNode<E>) stack.pop();
            } else {
                p = null;
            }
        }
    }

iterative post order

approach -1

// left-to-right postorder = right-to-left preorder

public void iterativePostorder() { 
    IntBSTNode p = root; 
    Stack travStack = new Stack(); //trace用堆疊
    output = new Stack(); //結果堆疊

    if (p != null) { // left-to-right postorder = right-to-left preorder   LRV
        travStack.push(p); 

        while (!travStack.isEmpty()) {
            p = (IntBSTNode) travStack.pop(); 
            output.push(p); 

            if (p.left != null) travStack.push(p.left); 
            if (p.right != null) travStack.push(p.right); 
         } //while

         while (!output.isEmpty()) { 
            p = (IntBSTNode) output.pop(); 
            p.visit(); 
         } 
    } //if
}

approach 2:

public void iterativePostorder() {
        BSTNode<E> p = root, q = root;
        Stack<BSTNode<E>> stack = new Stack<BSTNode<E>>();
        while (p != null) {
            while (p.left != null{
                stack.push(p);
                p = p.left;
            }

            while (p != null && (p.right == null || p.right == q)) {
                visit(p);
                q = p;
                if (stack.isEmpty())
                    return;
                p = (BSTNode<E>) stack.pop();
            }
            stack.push(p);
            p = p.right;
        }
    }

misc

一對中序順序(inorder sequence)及前序順序(preorder sequence)可唯一決定一個二元樹。
一對中序順序(inorder sequence)及後序順序(postorder sequence)亦可唯一決定一個二元樹。
一對前序順序(preorder sequence)及後序順序(postorder sequence)無法決定唯一一個二元樹

有一個前序順序為：ABCDEFGHI 中序順序為：BCAEDGHFI 則其相對應的二元樹為何？
解：前序追蹤的第一個字元A一定是樹根，再從中序追蹤知在A之前的節點BC是左子樹，在A之後的節點EDGHFI是右子樹，由此我們可以大略的建立出其相對應的二元樹形狀。
再由前序追蹤的第二個字元B知其為樹根，從中序追蹤知B的左子樹是空的，右子樹是C，因此其進一步結果如下

void BinarySearchTree::insert(int d)
{
    tree_node* t = new tree_node;
    tree_node* parent;
 
    t->data = d;
    t->left = NULL;

    // 2. Otherwise, recur down the tree
    if (data <= node->data) node->left = insert(node->left, data);

min value

{

Write C code to check if a given binary tree is a binary search tree or not?

int isThisABST(struct node* mynode)  
{  
    if (mynode==NULL) return(true);  
    if (node->left!=NULL && maxValue(mynode->left) > mynode->data)  
       return(false); 
    if (node->right!=NULL && minValue(mynode->right) <= mynode->data)  
       return(false);  
    if (!isThisABST(node->left) || !isThisABST(node->right))  
       return(false);  

    return(true);  
}

deepest common ancestor

Find the deepest common ancestor of two leaves in a binary search tree;
Do not traverse from the leaves. Instead, locate the node top/down.
How about finding the shallowest common ancestor of two leaves?

找shallowest的 trivial，就是root。
找deepest的,比较两个叶节点的值，小的p，大的q。从根节点起，当前节点x。

void deepest(node * x)
{
   if(x==null) return;
 
   push_into_queue(x);    
 
   if(x.value> p.value && x.value < q.value)
         return;
    if(x.value> q.value)
       deepest(x->left);
     if(x.value< p.value) 
       deepest(x->right);
}

convert a binary tree into a linked list

struct Tree
{
 int i;
 struct Tree* left;
 struct Tree* right;
};
Tree * Convert_to_list (Tree* T)
{
Tree * T1, T2, temp;
if (T != NULL)
{
   T1 = Convert_to_list(T->left)
   T2 = Convert_to_list(T->right)
   T->right = T2;
   if (T1!= NULL)
   {
     temp = T1;
     while (temp->right)
        temp = temp->right;
     temp->right = T;
     return T1;
   }
   else
     return T;
}
else
   return NULL;
}

Threaded Tree

insert

public void threadedInsert(int el) {
IntThreadedNode newNode = new IntThreadedNode(el);
If (root == null) {    // tree is empty
   root = newNode;
   return;}
IntThreadedNode p = root, prev = null;
while (p != null) {    // find a place to insert newNode;
    prev = p;
   if (el < p.key)
       p = p.left;
   else if (!p.Successor)     // go to the right only if it is
       p = p.right;    // a descendant, not a successor;
   else break;     // don't follow successor link;
 }
 if (el < prev.key) {    // if newNode is left child of
    prev.left = newNode;    // its parent, the parent
    newNode.Successor = true;// also becomes its successor;
    newNode.right = prev;   }
 else if (prev.Successor) {    // if parent of the newNode
    newNode.Successor = true;// is not the rightmost node,
    prev.Successor = false;    // make parent's successor
    newNode.right = prev.right;    // newNode’s successor,
    prev.right = newNode;}

inorder

protected void threadedInorder( ) {
  IntThreadedNode prev, p = root;
