Node Pool Generic Trees...

A D V E R T I S E M E N T

Search Projects & Source Codes:

    A node-pool tree is not that much different from a regular tree. The only key differences is that it has to maintain a linked list (more or less a "stack") of free nodes, and allocate them when needed.

    Another tricky thing is that now, the node's children are pointed to by integers, which are references into a node-pool array; so, watch out. You'll notice that a lot of the "tree stuff" has been re-used from the previous version, and you're right! It makes it a lot easier to understand on your part, and a lot easier to write on mine! (oh, I just ran out of coffee...)

    There are not that many hard methods in this one; so, lets focus in on the hard ones, and I'll leave you to figure out the "easy" ones yourself.

    One thing I'd like to mention of the top so that it causes as little confusion as possible: now that we're not using objects, but integers, we still have to note the "null node" somehow, so, in our example, I'm using -1 as the "null node" indicator.

    Data members numNodes, nextAvail, and arrayNodes are there to keep track of the linked list of free and occupied nodes. It's not exactly a linked list (although many people like to think of it that way), it's more or less a simple array stack we've implemented at the beginning of this document. The numNodes is the maximum number of nodes inside this tree; we could just as well substitute it for arrayNodes.length, but I think this "separation" is more convenient.

    The nextAvail member is the one that points to the next available node. Our allocation methods, getNode() and freeNode(int n), uses this particular pointer to allocate and release nodes. And arrayNodes is just an array holding the node-pool. All of the integer child references are into this arrayNodes array; which we allocate dynamically during instantiation (creation) of the object.

    Inside the init() function, we allocate the arrayNodes array to hold the node-pool. We later loop through all the nodes inside of it, and turn them into a linked list (with right child pointing to the next available node and left child being -1). The last node in the list is apparently marked -1; since it's last!

    I suggest you go over the source for getNode() and freeNode(int n); try to understand what it's doing. Which is nothing more complex than what we've already done! (look over the linked list description if you find it confusing)

    The rest of the functions are pretty much self explanatory (you should be able to figure them out). Most of them are just a port of the old tree functions to use integer children with node-pool nodes. Well, are you ready for a binary sort tree implementing a node-pool (ready or not, we're going there)!
