Lab6: Binary Search Tree and Hash Table

Lab6: Binary Search Tree and Hash Table
Objective: To be familiar binary search tree and hash table.
Description: Implement a binary search tree using hash table.
In this project, you are required to implement a binary search tree using hash table. In C++, hash table is
represented by the STL class template: unordered_map. Please check this page for member functions
and examples of unordered_map: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/unordered_map.
In the binary search tree, each node contains a student object. The student object should contains M#,
phone number, and address. M# is a string starting with char ‘M’ and followed by digits, such as
“M12345678”. In the hash map, the key is student’s M#, and the value associated with the key is the
following structure:
struct TreeNode {
Student item;
string left_child_M#;
string right_child_M#;
};
If the M# of its left or right child doesn’t exist, set its value to “M00000000”.
Requirements:
• Define and implement Student class. Make sure it contains M#, phone number, and address, all
getters and setters, and constructors. In addition, override < operator to compare student objects
by M#, and the << operator for output.
• Define and implement BST class to represent binary search tree. In this class, you should have:
o A member data of the type unordered_map< string, TreeNode to hold nodes in the
binary search tree.
o Member functions for in-order traversal, searching by M#, inserting a new Student
object, and deleting by M#.
• In the main function, which should be included in ola6.cpp file, please perform the following
operation in the given step:
o Create an empty binary search tree;
o Insert the following M#s to the BST in the given order: M00000005, M00000003,
M00000002, M00000001, M00000004, M00000006, M00000009, M00000008,
M00000007. M00000010. Feel free to come up with other information for each student
object.
o Perform in-order traversal to print all students in the tree;
o Search the student with M# = ‘M00000007’. Print all information of the student.
o Delete the student with M# = ‘M00000002’;
o Perform in-order traversal to print all students in the tree;
o Delete the student with M# = ‘M00000005’.
o Perform in-order traversal to print all students in the tree;
How to download assignment files:
Go to the URL: http://www.cs.mtsu.edu/~zdong/3110/public/OLA/ and download the file OLA6.zip,
which contains the following files:
•Ola6Description.doc: this file
•OLA6Rubric.doc: a rubric used to grade this assignment
How to submit your Lab:
o softcopy:
▪ Commit to your repository.
o Hard copy:
▪ print all source files
▪ Enclose the hardcopy of the program and the rubric in a folder (at least 9''x12''), and put C#
(the one I give you), your name, section #, instructor name on the folder. (Note: You can buy
folders from computer lab.)
