[英]Find parent node function for binary tree
is it possible to write a function to return the parent node of a given node for a binary tree? 是否有可能编写一个函数来返回给定节点的二叉树的父节点?
BinaryTree *search_val(BinaryTree *bt, int val)
{
//temp pointer
BinaryTree* temp = NULL;
if(!bt->isEmpty())
{
//check if root is equal to value and return root if true
if(bt->getData() == val)
{
return bt;
}
else
{
//search left side
temp = search_val(bt->left(), val);
//if not found in left, search right
if (temp == NULL)
{
temp = search_val(bt->right(), val);
}
return temp;
}
return NULL;
}
return NULL;
}
I just have this search function at the moment. 我现在只有这个搜索功能。 I got it from here actually.
我实际上是从这里得到的。 So I'm trying to convert this to search for the parent of a node.
所以我试图将其转换为搜索节点的父级。 The parameters will be the root node and the node whose parent we want.
参数将是根节点和我们想要其父节点的节点。 Is that even possible?
那有可能吗? I just need some hints to get started then I'll post my code.
我只需要一些提示即可开始使用,然后我将发布代码。 The purpose of creating this function is because I have a delete leaf node function that works almost perfectly....the only problem is that when I print all nodes after deleting, the supposedly deleted node still appears.
创建此功能的目的是因为我有一个删除叶节点功能,该功能几乎可以完美运行。...唯一的问题是,当删除后打印所有节点时,假定的已删除节点仍会出现。 I'm sure it's because the parent node is still linked to it in main.
我确定这是因为父节点仍在main中链接到它。 Here's my delete leaf node function:
这是我的删除叶子节点函数:
void delete_leaf_node(BinaryTree *bt, int val)
{
BinaryTree *temp;
temp = search_val(bt, val);
//If node does not exist in the tree, inform the user
if(temp == NULL)
{
cout << "\n " << val << " was not found in the tree" << endl;
}
//Check if node is a leaf
else if(temp->isLeaf())
{
delete temp;
cout << "\n Leaf " << temp->getData() << " deleted" << endl;
}
//Inform user that node is not a leaf
else
cout << "\n " << temp->getData() << " is not a Leaf" << endl;
//Display using In Order Traversal to see that the node was actually deleted
cout << "\n In Order Traversal after deleting: " << endl << "\n ";
inOrderTraverse(bt);
cout << endl;
}
I hope I'm making sense to someone...sorry I tried to shorten the question but couldn't. 我希望我对某人有意义...抱歉,我试图简化问题,但未能如此。

Thanks 谢谢
That depends on your BinaryTree implementation. 这取决于您的BinaryTree实现。 As far as I see, if you don't save a reference inside each node to his parent, you can't directly access to it when deleting
据我了解,如果您没有在每个节点内保存对父节点的引用,则删除时将无法直接访问它

You can modify your BinaryTree class with: 您可以使用以下方法修改BinaryTree类:
class BinaryTree{
public:
BinaryTree();
bool isEmpty();
bool isLeaf();
int getData();
void insert(const int &DATA);
BinaryTree *left();
BinaryTree *right();
void makeLeft(BinaryTree *bt);
void makeRight(BinaryTree *bt);
void setParent(BinaryTree *parent);
BinaryTree* getParent();
private:
bool nullTree;
int treeData;
BinaryTree *leftTree;
BinaryTree *rightTree;
BinaryTree* parent;
};
Then in your .cpp
: 然后在您的
.cpp
:
BinaryTree::BinaryTree()
{
nullTree = true;
leftTree = NULL;
rightTree = NULL;
parent = NULL;
}
void BinaryTree::setParent(BinaryTree *parent){
this->parent = parent;
}
BinaryTree* BinaryTree::getParent(){
return parent;
}
Your delete function will look like: 您的删除功能将如下所示:
void delete_leaf_node(BinaryTree *bt, int val)
{
BinaryTree *temp;
temp = search_val(bt, val);
//If node does not exist in the tree, inform the user
if(temp == NULL)
{
cout << "\n " << val << " was not found in the tree" << endl;
}
//Check if node is a leaf
else if(temp->isLeaf())
{
// You must distinguish which child you are
BinaryTree* parent = temp->getParent();
BinaryTree* leftChild = parent->left;
BinaryTree* rightChild = parent->right;
if(leftChild == temp){
parent->left = null;
}
if(rightChild == temp){
parent->right = null;
}
delete temp;
cout << "\n Leaf " << temp->getData() << " deleted" << endl;
}
//Inform user that node is not a leaf
else
cout << "\n " << temp->getData() << " is not a Leaf" << endl;
//Display using In Order Traversal to see that the node was actually deleted
cout << "\n In Order Traversal after deleting: " << endl << "\n ";
inOrderTraverse(bt);
cout << endl;
}
