Software utilizing the AVL balancing method for binary trees.
One of the key features of Btrees is the efficient way in which it finds a node in a balanced tree. The module accomplishes this with the help of $node = bal_tree_find( $tree, $val $cmp ); method. In addition, the module enables the user to add a node to a balanced tree while rebalancing if required using ($tree, $node) = bal_tree_add( $tree, $val, $cmp ) and delete a node in a balanced tree with rebalancing if required using ($tree, $node) = bal_tree_del( $tree, $val , $cmp )
Btrees employs the AVL balancing method by G. M. Adelson-Velskii and E.M. Landis, one of the most efficient methods available for balancing trees. In addition, the package does not use bit scavenging, something commonly done in low-level languages like C. This is because it becomes too expensive for an interpreter to achieve the required level of height balancing. Instead, the actual height of each subtree is stored at each node. A null pointer is assigned a height of zero, while a leaf has a height of 1 and a nonleaf a height of 1 greater than the height of its two children.
In conclusion, Btrees is an efficient and reliable Perl module that makes working with binary trees easy and straightforward. Its innovative using and adding functions make working with balanced trees more straightforward.
