如何实现二叉树？

Which is the best data structure that can be used to implement a binary tree in Python?

Here is my simple recursive implementation of binary search tree.

#!/usr/bin/python

class Node:
    def __init__(self, val):
        self.l = None
        self.r = None
        self.v = val

class Tree:
    def __init__(self):
        self.root = None

    def getRoot(self):
        return self.root

    def add(self, val):
        if self.root is None:
            self.root = Node(val)
        else:
            self._add(val, self.root)

    def _add(self, val, node):
        if val < node.v:
            if node.l is not None:
                self._add(val, node.l)
            else:
                node.l = Node(val)
        else:
            if node.r is not None:
                self._add(val, node.r)
            else:
                node.r = Node(val)

    def find(self, val):
        if self.root is not None:

        else:

    def _find(self, val, node):
        if val == node.v:
            return node
        elif (val < node.v and node.l is not None):
            self._find(val, node.l)
        elif (val > node.v and node.r is not None):
            self._find(val, node.r)

    def deleteTree(self):
        # garbage collector will do this for us. 
        self.root = None

    def printTree(self):
        if self.root is not None:
            self._printTree(self.root)

    def _printTree(self, node):
        if node is not None:
            self._printTree(node.l)
            print(str(node.v) + ' ')
            self._printTree(node.r)

#     3
# 0     4
#   2      8
tree = Tree()
tree.add(3)
tree.add(4)
tree.add(0)
tree.add(8)
tree.add(2)
tree.printTree()
print(tree.find(3).v)
print(tree.find(10))
tree.deleteTree()
tree.printTree()

# simple binary tree

This is a nice tutorial with questions in between

[What you need for interviews] A Node class is the sufficient data structure to represent a binary tree.

(While other answers are mostly correct, they are not required for a binary tree: no need to extend object class, no need to be a BST, no need to import deque).

class Node:

    def __init__(self, value = None):
        self.left  = None
        self.right = None
        self.value = value

Here is an example of a tree:

n1 = Node(1)
n2 = Node(2)
n3 = Node(3)
n1.left  = n2
n1.right = n3

In this example n1 is the root of the tree having n2, n3 as its children.

Simple implementation of BST in Python

class TreeNode:
    def __init__(self, value):
        self.left = None
        self.right = None
        self.data = value

class Tree:
    def __init__(self):
        self.root = None

    def addNode(self, node, value):
        if(node==None):
            self.root = TreeNode(value)
        else:
            if(value<node.data):
                if(node.left==None):
                    node.left = TreeNode(value)
                else:
                    self.addNode(node.left, value)
            else:
                if(node.right==None):
                    node.right = TreeNode(value)
                else:
                    self.addNode(node.right, value)

    def printInorder(self, node):
        if(node!=None):
            self.printInorder(node.left)
            print(node.data)
            self.printInorder(node.right)

def main():
    testTree = Tree()
    testTree.addNode(testTree.root, 200)
    testTree.addNode(testTree.root, 300)
    testTree.addNode(testTree.root, 100)
    testTree.addNode(testTree.root, 30)
    testTree.printInorder(testTree.root)

A very quick ‘n dirty way of implementing a binary tree using lists. Not the most efficient, nor does it handle nil values all too well. But it’s very transparent (at least to me):

def _add(node, v):
    new = [v, [], []]
    if node:
        left, right = node[1:]
        if not left:
            left.extend(new)
        elif not right:
            right.extend(new)
        else:
            _add(left, v)
    else:
        node.extend(new)

def binary_tree(s):
    root = []
    for e in s:
        _add(root, e)
    return root

def traverse(n, order):
    if n:
        v = n[0]
        if order == 'pre':
            yield v
        for left in traverse(n[1], order):
            yield left
        if order == 'in':
            yield v
        for right in traverse(n[2], order):
            yield right
        if order == 'post':
            yield v

Constructing a tree from an iterable:

 >>> tree = binary_tree('A B C D E'.split())
 >>> print tree
 ['A', ['B', ['D', [], []], ['E', [], []]], ['C', [], []]]

Traversing a tree:

 >>> list(traverse(tree, 'pre')), list(traverse(tree, 'in')), list(traverse(tree, 'post'))
 (['A', 'B', 'D', 'E', 'C'],
  ['D', 'B', 'E', 'A', 'C'],
  ['D', 'E', 'B', 'C', 'A'])

I can’t help but notice that most answers here are implementing a Binary Search Tree. Binary Search Tree != Binary Tree.

• A Binary Search Tree has a very specific property: for any node X, X’s key is larger than the key of any descendent of its left child, and smaller than the key of any descendant of its right child.

• A Binary Tree imposes no such restriction. A Binary Tree is simply a data structure with a ‘key’ element, and two children, say ‘left’ and ‘right’.

• A Tree is an even more general case of a Binary Tree where each node can have an arbitrary number of children. Typically, each node has a ‘children’ element which is of type list/array.

Now, to answer the OP’s question, I am including a full implementation of a Binary Tree in Python. The underlying data structure storing each BinaryTreeNode is a dictionary, given it offers optimal O(1) lookups. I’ve also implemented depth-first and breadth-first traversals. These are very common operations performed on trees.

from collections import deque

class BinaryTreeNode:
    def __init__(self, key, left=None, right=None):
        self.key = key
        self.left = left
        self.right = right

    def __repr__(self):
        return "%s l: (%s) r: (%s)" % (self.key, self.left, self.right)

    def __eq__(self, other):
        if self.key == other.key and \
            self.right == other.right and \
                self.left == other.left:
            return True
        else:
            return False

class BinaryTree:
    def __init__(self, root_key=None):
        # maps from BinaryTreeNode key to BinaryTreeNode instance.
        # Thus, BinaryTreeNode keys must be unique.
        self.nodes = {}
        if root_key is not None:
            # create a root BinaryTreeNode
            self.root = BinaryTreeNode(root_key)
            self.nodes[root_key] = self.root

    def add(self, key, left_key=None, right_key=None):
        if key not in self.nodes:
            # BinaryTreeNode with given key does not exist, create it
            self.nodes[key] = BinaryTreeNode(key)
        # invariant: self.nodes[key] exists

        # handle left child
        if left_key is None:
            self.nodes[key].left = None
        else:
            if left_key not in self.nodes:
                self.nodes[left_key] = BinaryTreeNode(left_key)
            # invariant: self.nodes[left_key] exists
            self.nodes[key].left = self.nodes[left_key]

        # handle right child
        if right_key == None:
            self.nodes[key].right = None
        else:
            if right_key not in self.nodes:
                self.nodes[right_key] = BinaryTreeNode(right_key)
            # invariant: self.nodes[right_key] exists
            self.nodes[key].right = self.nodes[right_key]

    def remove(self, key):
        if key not in self.nodes:
            raise ValueError('%s not in tree' % key)
        # remove key from the list of nodes
        del self.nodes[key]
        # if node removed is left/right child, update parent node
        for k in self.nodes:
            if self.nodes[k].left and self.nodes[k].left.key == key:
                self.nodes[k].left = None
            if self.nodes[k].right and self.nodes[k].right.key == key:
                self.nodes[k].right = None
        return True

    def _height(self, node):
        if node is None:
            return 0
        else:
            return 1 + max(self._height(node.left), self._height(node.right))

    def height(self):
        return self._height(self.root)

    def size(self):
        return len(self.nodes)

    def __repr__(self):
        return str(self.traverse_inorder(self.root))

    def bfs(self, node):
        if not node or node not in self.nodes:
            return
        reachable = []    
        q = deque()

you don’t need to have two classes

class Tree:

    left = None
    right = None

    def __init__(self, val):
        self.val = val


    def insert(self, val):
        if self.val is not None:
            if val < self.val:
                if self.left is not None:
                    self.left.insert(val)
                else:
                    self.left = Tree(val)
            elif val > self.val:
                if self.right is not None:
                    self.right.insert(val)
                else:
                    self.right = Tree(val)
            else:
                return
        else:
            self.val = val
            print("new node added")

    def showTree(self):
        if self.left is not None:
            self.left.showTree()
        print(self.val, end = ' ')
        if self.right is not None:
            self.right.showTree()

        print(root.data, end=' ')

A Node-based class of connected nodes is a standard approach. These can be hard to visualize.

Motivated from an essay on Python Patterns – Implementing Graphs, consider a simple dictionary:

Given

A binary tree

               a
              / \
             b   c
            / \   \
           d   e   f

Code

Make a dictionary of unique nodes:

tree = {
   "a": ["b", "c"],
   "b": ["d", "e"],
   "c": [None, "f"],
   "d": [None, None],
   "e": [None, None],
   "f": [None, None],
}

Details

• Each key-value pair is a unique node pointing to its children.
• A list (or tuple) holds an ordered pair of left/right children.
• With a dict having ordered insertion, assume the first entry is the root.
• Common methods can be functions that mutate or traverse the dict (see find_all_paths()).

Tree-based functions often include the following common operations:

• traverse: yield each node in a given order (usually left-to-right)
  • breadth-first search (BFS): traverse levels
  • depth-first search (DFS): traverse branches first (pre-/in-/post-order)
• insert: add a node to the tree depending on the number of children
• remove: remove a node depending on the number of children
• update: merge missing nodes from one tree to the other
• visit: yield the value of a traversed node

Try implementing all of these operations. Here we demonstrate one of these functions – a BFS traversal:

Example

import collections as ct


def traverse(tree):
    """Yield nodes from a tree via BFS."""
    q = ct.deque()                                         # 1
    root = next(iter(tree))                                # 2
    q.append(root)

    while q:
        node = q.popleft()
        children = filter(None, tree.get(node))
        for n in children:                                 # 3 
            q.append(n)
        yield node

list(traverse(tree))
# ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f']

This is a breadth-first search (level-order) algorithm applied to a dict of nodes and children.

1. Initialize a FIFO queue. We use a deque, but a queue or a list works (the latter is inefficient).
2. Get and enqueue the root node (assumes the root is the first entry in the dict, Python 3.6+).
3. Iteratively dequeue a node, enqueue its children and yield the node value.

See also this in-depth tutorial on trees.

Insight

Something great about traversals in general, we can easily alter the latter iterative approach to depth-first search (DFS) by simply replacing the queue with a stack (a.k.a LIFO Queue). This simply means we dequeue from the same side that we enqueue. DFS allows us to search each branch.

How? Since we are using a deque, we can emulate a stack by changing node = q.popleft() to node = q.pop() (right). The result is a right-favored, pre-ordered DFS: ['a', 'c', 'f', 'b', 'e', 'd'].

I know many good solutions have already been posted but I usually have a different approach for binary trees: going with some Node class and implementing it directly is more readable but when you have a lot of nodes it can become very greedy regarding memory, so I suggest adding one layer of complexity and storing the nodes in a python list, and then simulating a tree behavior using only the list.

You can still define a Node class to finally represent the nodes in the tree when needed, but keeping them in a simple form [value, left, right] in a list will use half the memory or less!

Here is a quick example of a Binary Search Tree class storing the nodes in an array. It provides basic fonctions such as add, remove, find…

I’ve added a parent attribute so that you can remove any node and maintain the BST structure.

Sorry for the readability, especially for the “remove” function. Basically, when a node is removed, we pop the tree array and replace it with the last element (except if we wanted to remove the last node). To maintain the BST structure, the removed node is replaced with the max of its left children or the min of its right children and some operations have to be done in order to keep the indexes valid but it’s fast enough.

I used this technique for more advanced stuff to build some big words dictionaries with an internal radix trie and I was able to divide memory consumption by 7-8 (you can see an example here: https://gist.github.com/fbparis/b3ddd5673b603b42c880974b23db7cda)
