Method Details

getRoot

public static <T extends TreeNode<T>> T getRoot(T node)

Returns the root of the tree the given node is part of.

Parameters:

node - the node to get the root of

Returns:

the root or null if the given node is null

addChild

public static <T extends MutableTreeNode<T>> void addChild(T parent,
 T child)

Adds a new child node to a given MutableTreeNode parent.

Parameters:

parent - the parent node

child - the child node to add

removeChild

public static <T extends MutableTreeNode<T>> void removeChild(T parent,
 T child)

Removes the given child from the given parent node.

Parameters:

parent - the parent node

child - the child node

toLeftAssociativity

public static <N extends MutableBinaryTreeNode<N>>
N toLeftAssociativity(N node)

Performs the following transformation on the given MutableBinaryTreeNode:

        o1                    o2
       / \                   / \
      A   o2     ====>     o1   C
         / \              / \
        B   C            A   B
 

Parameters:

node - the node to transform

Returns:

the new root after the transformation, which is either the right sub node of the original root or the original root, if the right sub node is null
