BST中的范围搜索

我需要在二叉搜索树中进行范围搜索功能,这将给出给定范围内的项目的数量。我不了解如何在找到项目时增加计数值。因为,我必须使用递归函数&如果我在递归过程中将count变量初始化为0,它将始终从0开始计数值,而不是计数中已更新的值。

    int rangeSearch(struct treeNode * node, int leftBound, int rightBound) 
    {

        int count=0;
        if( node->item >= leftBound & node->item <= rightBound)
        {
            printf("%d ",node->item);
            count++;
        }
        if( node->left!=0 & node->item > leftBound) rangeSearch( node -> left, leftBound , rightBound );
        else if( node->right!=0 & node->item < rightBound )rangeSearch( node -> right, leftBound , rightBound );
        return count;


    }

这是我的第一个答案,所以我很抱歉我的英语不好。

在这样的每个递归问题中,考虑问题的最简单方法是:

- 解决“基本案例”,这通常是微不足道的。 (对于大多数数据结构,通常是空结构或单元素结构。)

- 解决组成结构的子结构的一般情况(例如,在考虑树时,这是在考虑LEFT子树和RIGHT子树的情况下完成的)假设您可以依赖于子结构的解。

我确定我没有很好地解释,所以让我做一个简单的例子:

我们想要计算BST中的TOTAL元素数。 解决方法是:

int countElement(struct treeNode* node)
{
    if(node == null)
    {
        //we are in the base case: the tree is empty, so we can return zero.
        return 0;
    }
    else
    {
        /*the tree is not empty:
          We return 1 (the element that we are considering)
          + the elements of the left subtree 
          + the elements of the right subtree.*/

          return 1 + countElement(node->left) + countElement(node->right);
    }   
}

如果您明白这一点,我们可以继续您的请求:

int rangeSearch(struct treeNode * node, int leftBound, int rightBound)
{
    if(node == 0)
    {
        //base case: the tree is empty, we can return 0
        return 0;
    }
    else
    {
        /*our tree is not empty.
          Remember that we can assume that the procedure called on
          the left and right child is correct.*/

          int countLeft = rangeSearch(node->left, leftBound, rightBound);
          int countRight = rangeSearch(node->right, leftBound, rightBound);

          /*So what we have to return?
          if the current node->item is between leftbound and rightbound,
          we return 1 (our node->item is valid) + rangeSearch called
          on the left and child subtree with the same identical range.*/

          if(node->item > leftBound && node->item < rightBound)
          {
              /*the element is in the range: we MUST count it 
                in the final result*/
              return 1 + countLeft + countRight;
          }
          else
          {
              /*the element is not in the range: we must NOT count it 
                in the final result*/
              return 0 + countLeft + countRight;
          }
    }
}

请记住,关键部分是如果你定义和解决基本情况,那么当你考虑更大的结构时,你可以假设你的SUBSTRUCTURE上调用的递归过程做了正确的事情并返回正确的价值。

据我了解,由于countrangeSearch中是本地的,因此必须按如下方式更改实施,以实现所需的评估。

int rangeSearch(struct treeNode * node, int leftBound, int rightBound)
{

    int count=0;
    if( node->item >= leftBound & node->item <= rightBound)
    {
        printf("%d ",node->item);
        count++;
    }
    if( node->left!=0 & node->item > leftBound)
        count += rangeSearch( node->left, leftBound, rightBound );
    if( node->right!=0 & node->item < rightBound )
        count += rangeSearch( node->right, leftBound, rightBound );
    return count;
}
