Class: Tree::BinaryTreeNode

Inherits:
TreeNode show all
Defined in:
lib/tree/binarytree.rb

Overview

Provides a Binary tree implementation. This node allows only two child nodes (left and right child). It also provides direct access to the left or right child, including assignment to the same.

This inherits from the TreeNode class.

#breadth ⇒ Integer (readonly) Originally defined in module Utils::TreeMetricsHandler

Breadth of the tree at this node’s level. A single node without siblings has a breadth of 1.

Breadth is defined to be:

Breadth

Number of sibling nodes to this node + 1 (this node itself),

i.e., the number of children the parent of this node has.

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    breadth of the node’s level.

#in_degree ⇒ Integer (readonly) Originally defined in module Utils::TreeMetricsHandler

The incoming edge-count of this node.

In-degree is defined as:

In-degree

Number of edges arriving at the node (0 for root, 1 for

all other nodes)

  • In-degree = 0 for a root or orphaned node

  • In-degree = 1 for a node which has a parent

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    The in-degree of this node.

#left_child ⇒ Tree::BinaryTreeNode

Left child of the receiver node. Note that left Child == first Child.

Returns:

# File 'lib/tree/binarytree.rb', line 60

def left_child
  children.first
end

#left_child? ⇒ Boolean Also known as: is_left_child?

true if the receiver node is the left child of its parent. Always returns false if it is a root node.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if this is the left child of its parent.

end

#length ⇒ Integer (readonly) Originally defined in module Utils::TreeMetricsHandler

Deprecated.

This method name is ambiguous and may be removed. Use

Convenience synonym for #size.

#size instead.

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    The total number of nodes in this (sub)tree.

See Also:

#level ⇒ Object (readonly) Originally defined in module Utils::TreeMetricsHandler

Alias for #node_depth

See Also:

#node_depth ⇒ Integer (readonly) Originally defined in module Utils::TreeMetricsHandler

Depth of this node in its tree. Depth of a node is defined as:

Depth

Length of the node’s path to its root. Depth of a root node is

zero.

#level is an alias for this method.

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    Depth of this node.

#node_height ⇒ Integer (readonly) Originally defined in module Utils::TreeMetricsHandler

Height of the (sub)tree from this node. Height of a node is defined as:

Height

Length of the longest downward path to a leaf from the node.

  • Height from a root node is height of the entire tree.

  • The height of a leaf node is zero.

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    Height of the node.

#out_degree ⇒ Integer (readonly) Originally defined in module Utils::TreeMetricsHandler

The outgoing edge-count of this node.

Out-degree is defined as:

Out-degree

Number of edges leaving the node (zero for leafs)

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    The out-degree of this node.

#right_child ⇒ Tree::BinaryTreeNode

Right child of the receiver node. Note that right child == last child unless there is only one child.

Returns nil if the right child does not exist.

Returns:

def right_child
  children[1]
end

#right_child? ⇒ Boolean (readonly) Also known as: is_right_child?

true if the receiver node is the right child of its parent. Always returns false if it is a root node.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if this is the right child of its parent.

  self == parent.right_child
end

#size ⇒ Integer (readonly) Originally defined in module Utils::TreeMetricsHandler

Total number of nodes in this (sub)tree, including this node.

Size of the tree is defined as:

Size

Total number nodes in the subtree including this node.

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    Total number of nodes in this (sub)tree.

Instance Method Details

#add(child) ⇒ Object

Adds the specified child node to the receiver node. The child node’s parent is set to be the receiver.

The child nodes are added in the order of addition, i.e., the first child added becomes the left node, and the second child added will be the second node.

If only one child is present, then this will be the left child.

Parameters:

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    This exception is raised if two children are already present.

def add(child)
  raise ArgumentError, 'Already has two child nodes' if @children.size == 2

  super(child)
end

#add_from_hash(hashed_subtree) ⇒ Array

Instantiate and insert child nodes from data in a Ruby Hash

This method is used in conjunction with TreeNode.from_hash to provide a convenient way of building and inserting child nodes present in a Ruby hashes.

This method will instantiate a TreeNode instance for each top- level key of the input hash, to be inserted as children of the receiver instance.

Nested hashes are expected and further child nodes will be created and added accordingly. If a hash key is a single value that value will be used as the name for the node. If a hash key is an Array, both node name and content will be populated.

A leaf element of the tree should be represented as a hash key with corresponding value nil or {}.

>

Examples:

root = Tree::TreeNode.new(:A, "Root content!")
root.add_from_hash({:B => {:D => {}}, [:C, "C content!"] => {}})

Parameters:

  • hashed_subtree (Hash) —

    The hash of child subtrees.

Returns:

  • (Array) —

    Array of child nodes added

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    This exception is raised if hash contains too many children.

  • (ArgumentError) —

    This exception is raised if a non-hash is passed.

  super(hashed_subtree)
end

#inordered_each {|node| ... } ⇒ Tree::BinaryTreeNode, Enumerator

Performs in-order traversal (including this node).

noinspection RubyUnusedLocalVariable

Yield Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Tree::BinaryTreeNode) —

    This node, if a block is given

  • (Enumerator) —

    An enumerator on this tree, if a block is not given
