Binary Search Tree - unique values in C++





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}







-4















The project is to add words to the to each nodes in the BST.
I need to count the number of unique or distinct values in my BST.



Here is my code for Adding the words. I need help with writing
int distinctWords() const;.



void WordTree:: addPrivate(WordNode *n, ItemType v)
{
if (root == NULL)
root = new WordNode(v);
else if (v == n->m_data)
{
n->m_count++;
}
else if (v < n->m_data)
{
if (n->m_left != NULL)
{
addPrivate(n->m_left, v);
}
else
{
n->m_left = new WordNode(v);
}
}
else if (v > n->m_data)
{
if (n->m_right != NULL)
{
addPrivate(n->m_right, v);
}
else
{
n->m_right = new WordNode(v);
}
}

}

  • You have 2 ways: travel the tree to compute the value, or store it as member and updating the value with insertion/removal of word.

With that tree, that's the same as the number of nodes.



Determining the number of nodes recursively:




  • If the tree is empty, it has no nodes.

  • If it's not empty, it has one more node than the sum of the number of nodes in the subtrees.


In C++,



int distinctWords(const WordNode* node)
{
return node == nullptr
? 0
: 1 + distinctWords(node->m_left) + distinctWords(node->m_right);
}
