Due by 5pm on Friday, 10/26

Submission. See the online submission instructions. We have provided a starter file for the questions below.

Readings. Section 3.3 of the online lecture notes.

In lecture, we considered sets implemented as sorted recursive lists:

def empty(s):
    return len(s) == 0

def set_contains2(s, v):
    """Return true if set s contains value v as an element.

    >>> set_contains2(s, 2)
    True
    >>> set_contains2(s, 5)
    False
    """
    if empty(s) or s.first > v:
        return False
    if s.first == v:
        return True
    return set_contains2(s.rest, v)

def intersect_set2(set1, set2):
    """Return a set containing all elements common to set1 and set2.

    >>> t = Rlist(2, Rlist(3, Rlist(4)))
    >>> intersect_set2(s, t)
    Rlist(2, Rlist(3))
    """
    if empty(set1) or empty(set2):
        return Rlist.empty
    e1, e2 = set1.first, set2.first
    if e1 == e2:
        return Rlist(e1, intersect_set2(set1.rest, set2.rest))
    if e1 < e2:
        return intersect_set2(set1.rest, set2)
    if e2 < e1:
        return intersect_set2(set1, set2.rest)

Q1. Implement adjoin_set2, which adjoins an element to a set using the sorted recursive list implementation from lecture:

def adjoin_set2(s, v):
    """Return a set containing all elements of s and element v.

    >>> adjoin_set2(s, 2.5)
    Rlist(1, Rlist(2, Rlist(2.5, Rlist(3))))
    """
    "*** YOUR CODE HERE ***"

Q2. Implement union_set2, which computes the union of two sets represented as sorted recursive lists:

def union_set2(set1, set2):
    """Return a set containing all elements either in set1 or set2.

    >>> t = Rlist(1, Rlist(3, Rlist(5)))
    >>> union_set2(s, t)
    Rlist(1, Rlist(2, Rlist(3, Rlist(5))))
    """
    "*** YOUR CODE HERE ***"

In lecture, we also considered sets represented as trees:

def set_contains3(s, v):
    """Return true if set s contains value v as an element.

    >>> t = Tree(2, Tree(1), Tree(3))
    >>> set_contains3(t, 3)
    True
    >>> set_contains3(t, 0)
    False
    >>> set_contains3(big_tree(20, 60), 34)
    True
    """
    if s is None:
        return False
    if s.entry == v:
        return True
    if s.entry < v:
        return set_contains3(s.right, v)
    if s.entry > v:
        return set_contains3(s.left, v)

def adjoin_set3(s, v):
    """Return a set containing all elements of s and element v.

    >>> b = big_tree(0, 9)
    >>> b
    Tree(4, Tree(1), Tree(7, None, Tree(9)))
    >>> adjoin_set3(b, 5)
    Tree(4, Tree(1), Tree(7, Tree(5), Tree(9)))
    """
    if s is None:
        return Tree(v)
    if s.entry == v:
        return s
    if s.entry < v:
        return Tree(s.entry, s.left, adjoin_set3(s.right, v))
    if s.entry > v:
        return Tree(s.entry, adjoin_set3(s.left, v), s.right)

Q3. Implement depth, which returns the depth of a value in a set represented as a tree:

def depth(s, v):
    """Return the depth of the value v in tree set s.

    The depth of a value is the number of branches followed to reach the value.
    The depth of the root of a tree is always 0.

    >>> b = big_tree(0, 9)
    >>> depth(b, 4)
    0
    >>> depth(b, 7)
    1
    >>> depth(b, 9)
    2
    """
    "*** YOUR CODE HERE ***"

Q4. Implement tree_to_ordered_sequence, which coerces a set represented as a tree into a set represented as an ordered sequence. (Extra for experts) Implement this function so that it executes in Theta(n) time, where n is the number of elements in the tree:

def tree_to_ordered_sequence(s):
    """Return an ordered sequence containing the elements of tree set s.

    >>> b = big_tree(0, 9)
    >>> tree_to_ordered_sequence(b)
    Rlist(1, Rlist(4, Rlist(7, Rlist(9))))
    """
    "*** YOUR CODE HERE ***"

Q5. In order to complete the coercion from an ordered sequence set to a tree set, implement partial_tree. (Extra for experts) Implement the function to run in Theta(n) time.

Hint: This function requires two recursive calls. The first call builds a left branch out of the first left_size elements of s; Then, the next elemnt is used as the entry of the returned tree. Finally, the second recursive call builds the right branch out of the next right_size elements. In total, (left_size + 1 + right_size) = n, where 1 is for the entry:

def partial_tree(s, n):
    """Return a balanced tree of the first n elements of Rlist s, along with
    the rest of s. A tree is balanced if the length of the path to any two
    leaves are at most one apart.

    >>> s = Rlist(1, Rlist(2, Rlist(3, Rlist(4, Rlist(5)))))
    >>> partial_tree(s, 3)
    (Tree(2, Tree(1), Tree(3)), Rlist(4, Rlist(5)))
    """
    if n == 0:
        return None, s
    left_size = (n-1)//2
    right_size = n - left_size - 1
    "*** YOUR CODE HERE ***"

def ordered_sequence_to_tree(s):
    """Return a balanced tree containing the elements of ordered Rlist s.

    A tree is balanced if the lengths of the paths from the root to any two
    leaves are at most one apart.

    Note: this implementation is complete, but the definition of partial_tree
    below is not complete.

    >>> ordered_sequence_to_tree(Rlist(1, Rlist(2, Rlist(3))))
    Tree(2, Tree(1), Tree(3))
    >>> b = big_tree(0, 20)
    >>> elements = tree_to_ordered_sequence(b)
    >>> elements
    Rlist(1, Rlist(4, Rlist(7, Rlist(10, Rlist(13, Rlist(16, Rlist(19)))))))
    >>> ordered_sequence_to_tree(elements)
    Tree(10, Tree(4, Tree(1), Tree(7)), Tree(16, Tree(13), Tree(19)))
    """
    return partial_tree(s, len(s))[0]

If tree_to_ordered_sequence and ordered_sequence_to_tree run in linear time, then so will intersect_set3 and union_set3 below:

def intersect_set3(set1, set2):
    """Return a set containing all elements common to set1 and set2.


    >>> s, t = big_tree(0, 12), big_tree(6, 18)
    >>> intersect_set3(s, t)
    Tree(8, Tree(6), Tree(10, None, Tree(12)))
    """
    s1, s2 = map(tree_to_ordered_sequence, (set1, set2))
    return ordered_sequence_to_tree(intersect_set2(s1, s2))

def union_set3(set1, set2):
    """Return a set containing all elements either in set1 or set2.

    >>> s, t = big_tree(6, 12), big_tree(10, 16)
    >>> union_set3(s, t)
    Tree(10, Tree(6, None, Tree(9)), Tree(13, Tree(11), Tree(15)))
    """
    s1, s2 = map(tree_to_ordered_sequence, (set1, set2))
    return ordered_sequence_to_tree(union_set2(s1, s2))

This appendix implements the Rlist and Tree classes from lecture:
