A forest full of trees
• The generic toolkit of functions we have seen thus far can be applied to many types of data structures derived from binary trees
• Now we will look at a specific ADT based on the generic binary tree: binary search binary search treestrees

BST characteristics
• Based on binary trees
• Defining quality has to do with the order in which data are stored
• Commonly used in database applications where rapid retrieval of data is desired
4
Binary Search Trees
• Entries in a BST must be objects to which total total order semanticsorder semantics apply -- in other words, objects for which all the binary comparison operators are defined
• Storage rules -- for every node n:– every entry in n’s left subtree is less than or equal
to the entry in n– every entry in n’s right subtree is greater than n’s
entry

• A dictionary is a collection of items, similar to a bag.
• But unlike a bag, each item has a string attached to it, called the item's key.

Example: The items I am storing are records containing data about a state.

Removing an Item with a Given Key
Removing an Item with a Given Key
Find the item. If the item has a right child, rearrange the tree:
– Find smallest item in the right subtree
– Copy that smallest item onto the one that you want to remove
– Remove the extra copy of the smallest item (making sure that you keep the tree connected)
else just remove the item.

• Binary search trees are a good implementation of data types such as sets, bags, and dictionaries.
• Searching for an item is generally quick since you move from the root to the item, without looking at many other items.
• Adding and deleting items is also quick.• But as you'll see later, it is possible for the
quickness to fail in some cases -- can you see why?
