Binary search tree

In computer science, binary search trees (BST), sometimes called ordered or sorted binary trees, are a particular type of container: data structures that store "items" (such as numbers, names etc.) in memory. By https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search_tree

The library was written in Typescript provides a binary tree data structure for storing or searching data.

Install

npm i bst-lib

Example

Define and instantiate some mock objects.

class Mock {
    constructor(
    	public id: number,
    	public value: string
    ) { }
}
	
var mockA = new Mock(1, 'MockA');
var mockB = new Mock(2, 'MockB');
var mockC = new Mock(3, 'MockC');
var mockD = new Mock(4, 'MockD');
var mockE = new Mock(5, 'MockE');
    

Instantiate a Bst with type 'Mock'

var bst = new Bst<Mock>()
	

Insert mock object into bst

bst.insert(mockA.id, mockA);
bst.insert(mockC.id, mockC);
bst.insert(mockB.id, mockB);
bst.insert(mockE.id, mockE);
bst.insert(mockD.id, mockD);

Print the bst

bst.print();
/* Print result
                5
                        4
        3
                2
1

Properties

BstNode

Name	Description
id: string | number	The id of bst node. The searching relies on comparing the value of id
data: T	Store the data with generic type
left: Bst<T>()	The left child node of this node
right: Bst<T>()	The right child node of this node

Bst

Name	Description
private root: BstNode<T> = null	Point to a BstNode if not null

Methods

Name	Description
isEmpty(): boolean	Whether the node is Bst point to null
isContains(id: string | number): boolean	Whether the bst contain data with target id
getMaxId(): number | string | null	Find the largest id
getMinId(): number | string | null	Find the smallest id
getMaxData() :T	Find the data with largest id
getMinData() :T	Find the data with smallest id
searchDataById(id: number | string): T | null	Find the data by target id. Return null if not found
print(depth: number = 0)	Print the tree in horizontally. (root on left and leafs on right)
insert(id: string | number, data: T)	Insert data into bst by inputting id of the data and data itself
remove(id: string | number)	Remove the data by id
