Dear All, I am unable to complete the R code for deleting nodes in a binary search tree.
Have provided the code snippet below for an usecase where the node to be deleted would have a leftnode and no rightnode. I am stuck up at how to release the node pertaining to the key value given by the function call and then assigning the leftnode in place of the deleted note. Any help would be appreciated . deletenode<-function(node,key) { if(identical(node,NULL)==TRUE) { return(node) } else { if(key<node$key) { node$leftnode<-deletenode(node$leftnode,key) } if(key>node$key) { node$leftnode<- deletenode(node$rightnode,key) } if(key==node$key) { if((identical(node$leftnode,NULL)==TRUE)&& (identical(node$rightnode,NULL)==FALSE)) { temp<-node node<-node$rightnode remove(temp) return(node) } } deletenode(root,key) Thanks and Regards karthik [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
