Binary Search Tree Assignment

We will build some of the Higher Order Function Hall of Fame inductees but for a tree datatype.

datatype 'a tree = LEAF | BRANCH of 'a tree * 'a * 'a tree

Code to Investigate

order

SML's General structure's order

datatype order = LESS | EQUAL | GREATER

Values of type order are used when comparing elements of a type that has a linear ordering.

list

We will implement some of the higher ordered functions list provides on our binary tree.

datatype 'a tree = LEAF | BRANCH of 'a tree * 'a * 'a tree

core

insert

note: this function is curried

fun insert (compare_function:(('a * 'a) -> order)) (t:'a tree) (item:'a) : 'a tree = 
    raise NotYetImplemented

remove

fun remove (equal_less_greater_function:'a -> order) (t:'a tree) : 'a tree =
    raise NotYetImplemented

higher order functions

find

reference: List.find

fun find (equal_less_greater_function : 'a -> order) (t:'a tree) : 'a option = 
    raise NotYetImplemented

find_order_hof

fun find_order_hof (order:traversal_order) (predicate:'a->bool) (t:'a tree) : 'a option =
    raise NotYetImplemented

map

reference: List.map

fun map(f : 'a -> 'b, t : 'a tree) : 'b tree = 
    raise NotYetImplemented

filter

reference: List.filter

fun filter(predicate : 'a -> bool, t : 'a tree) : 'a tree = 
    raise NotYetImplemented

find_lnr

reference: List.find

reference: In-order traversal

fun find_lnr(predicate : 'a -> bool, t : 'a tree) : 'a option =
    raise NotYetImplemented

fold_lnr

reference: List.foldl

reference: In-order traversal

fun fold_lnr(f : 'a * 'b -> 'b, init : 'b, t : 'a tree ) : 'b = 
    raise NotYetImplemented

Application

max_height

fun max_height(t : 'a BinaryTree.tree) : int = 
 	raise NotYetImplemented

sum_int_tree

fun sum_int_tree(t : int BinaryTree.tree) : int =
 	raise NotYetImplemented
