    Answer

  8. What is log2(32)?

    Answer

  9. To within a constant factor, how much time does it take to insert a value into a height-balanced binary search tree that has n values in it already, in the worst case?

    Answer

  10. To within a constant factor, how much time does it take to remove a value from a height-balanced binary search tree that has n values in it, in the worst case?

    Answer

  11. Does the height-balancing algorithm based on single and double rotations always keep a tree height-balanced, or are there some rare sequences of insertions and removals that can cause the tree to become non-height-balanced?

    Answer

    The following questions use the following type Node.

        struct Node
        {
          int item;
          Node* left;
          Node* right;
    
          node(int i, Node* L, Node* R)
          {
            item = i;
            left = L;
            right = R;
          }
        };
    

  12. The height of a tree is the number of nodes on the longest path from the tree's root to a leaf. An empty tree is defined to have height 0.

    A tree is full if (1) all of its leaves have the same height, and (2) all nonleaves have two nonempty subtrees. By definition, an empty tree is full.

    Write a function that takes a tree t, given by a pointer to its root, and returns the height of tree t if t is full, but returns -1 if tree t is not full.

    Answer

  13. Assume that function insert(x,t) is available to you, where insert(x,t) inserts x into binary search tree t, modifying t.

    Write a definition of function insertAll(s,t), which takes two binary search trees s and t and inserts all members of tree s into tree t.

    Answer

    The following question uses the following type Cell.

        struct Cell
        {
          Cell* next;
          int item;
    
          Cell(int i, Cell* n)
          {
            item = i;
            next = n;
          }
        };
    

  14. Write a function stutter(L) that takes a list L, of type Cell*, and yields a new list consisting of two copies in a row of each member of list L. For example, stutter([2,4,6,8]) = [2,2,4,4,6,6,8,8]

    1. Using conceptual notation, write equations that define stutter(L).

      Answer

    2. Write a definition of stutter(L) in C++.
