实现的思想很简单:
first:找到要删除的节点
second:如果删除的节点没有右子树那么左子树链到父节点
third:如果删除的节点没有左子树那么右子树链到父节点
forth:如果删除的节点又左右孩子,那么可以归并删除节点后的子树:方法有两种一种是用删除节点的左子树的最右节点,指向删除节点的右子树,另一种是用删除节点的用字数的最左节点指向删除节点的左子树。
Java 实现如下:
public void deleteByMerging(int el)
{
IntBSTNode tmp,node,p=root,prev=null;
/*find the node to be deleted*/
while(p!=null&&p.key!=el)
{
prev=p;
if(p.key<el)
p=p.right;
else p=p.left;
}
/*find end*/
node=p;
if(p!=null&&p.key==el)
{
if(node.right==null) //node has no right child then its left child (if any) is attached to
node=node.left; //its parent
else if(node.left==null)//node has no left child then its right child (if any) is attched to
node=node.right //its parent
else{
tmp=node.left;
while(tmp.right!=null)
tmp=tmp.right; //find the rightmost node of the left subtree
tem.right=node.right; //establish the link between the rightmost node of the left subtree and the right subtree
node=node.left;
}
if(p==root)
{
root=node;
}
else if (prev.left==p)
{
prev.left=node;
}
else prev.right=node
}
else if(root!=null)
{
System.out.println("the node is not in the tree");
}
else System.out.println("The tree is empty");
}
