Activity Outcomes:

This lab teaches you the following topics:

  • How to insert and delete data from AVL trees
  • How to search and traverse AVL trees

Introduction

AVL Tree:

AVL tree is a self-balancing Binary Search Tree (BST) where the difference between heights of left and right subtrees cannot be more than one for all nodes.

An Example Tree that is an AVL Tree

  

The above tree is AVL because differences between heights of left and right subtrees for every node is less than or equal to 1.

An Example Tree that is NOT an AVL Tree

 

The above tree is not AVL because differences between heights of left and right subtrees for 8 and 18 is greater than 1.

Why AVL Trees?

Most of the BST operations (e.g., search, max, min, insert, delete.. etc) take O(h) time where h is the height of the BST. The cost of these operations may become O(n) for a skewed Binary tree. If we make sure that height of the tree remains O(Logn) after every insertion and deletion, then we can guarantee an upper bound of O(Logn) for all these operations. The height of an AVL tree is always O(Logn) where n is the number of nodes in the tree.

Lab Activities:

Activity 1:

Write a program to insert a node in AVL tree while balancing.

Solution:

// C program to insert a node in AVL tree

#include<stdio.h>

#include<stdlib.h>

// An AVL tree node

struct Node

{

int key;

struct Node *left;

struct Node *right;

int height;

};

// A utility function to get maximum of two integers

int max(int a, int b);

// A utility function to get the height of the tree

int height(struct Node *N)

{

if (N == NULL)

return 0;

return N->height;

}

// A utility function to get maximum of two integers

int max(int a, int b)

{

return (a > b)? a : b;

}

/* Helper function that allocates a new node with the given key and NULL left and right pointers. */

struct Node* newNode(int key)

{

struct Node* node = (struct Node*)malloc(sizeof(struct Node));

node->key = key;

node->left = NULL;

node->right = NULL;

node->height = 1;           // new node is initially added at leaf return(node);

}

// A utility function to right rotate subtree rooted with y , See the diagram given above.

struct Node *rightRotate(struct Node *y)

{

struct Node *x = y->left;

struct Node *T2 = x->right;

// Perform rotation

x->right = y;

y->left = T2;

// Update heights

y->height = max(height(y->left), height(y->right))+1;

x->height = max(height(x->left), height(x->right))+1;

// Return new root

return x;

}

// A utility function to left rotate subtree rooted with x,  See the diagram given above.

struct Node *leftRotate(struct Node *x)

}

// Get Balance factor of node N

int getBalance(struct Node *N)

{

}

// Recursive function to insert a key in the subtree rooted with node and returns the new root of the subtree.

struct Node* insert(struct Node* node, int key)

{

/* 1. Perform the normal BST insertion */

/* 2. Update height of this ancestor node */

/* 3. Get the balance factor of this ancestor node to check whether this node became unbalanced */

int balance = getBalance(node);

// If this node becomes unbalanced, then there are 4 cases

// Left Left Case

{

// The function also prints height of every node
