  1. Draw the tree structure resulting from the following set of tree function calls:

    >>> r = BinaryTree(3)
    >>> insertLeft(r,4)
    [3, [4, [], []], []]
    >>> insertLeft(r,5)
    [3, [5, [4, [], []], []], []]
    >>> insertRight(r,6)
    [3, [5, [4, [], []], []], [6, [], []]]
    >>> insertRight(r,7)
    [3, [5, [4, [], []], []], [7, [], [6, [], []]]]
    >>> setRootVal(r,9)
    >>> insertLeft(r,11)
    [9, [11, [5, [4, [], []], []], []], [7, [], [6, [], []]]]
    
  2. Trace the algorithm for creating an expression tree for the expression \((4 * 8) / 6 - 3\).

  3. Consider the following array of integers: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. Show the binary search tree resulting from inserting the integers in the array.

  4. Consider the following array of integers: [10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1]. Show the binary search tree resulting from inserting the integers in the array.

  5. Generate a random array of integers. Show the binary heap tree resulting from inserting the integers on the array one at a time.

  6. Using the array from the previous question, show the binary heap tree resulting from using the array as a parameter to the buildHeap method. Show both the tree and array form.

  7. Draw the binary search tree that results from inserting the following keys in the order given: 68,88,61,89,94,50,4,76,66, and 82.

  8. Generate a random array of integers. Draw the binary search tree resulting from inserting the integers on the array.

  9. Consider the following array of integers: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. Show the binary heap resulting from inserting the integers one at a time.

  10. Consider the following array of integers: [10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1]. Show the binary heap resulting from inserting the integers one at a time.

  11. Consider the two different techniques we used for implementing traversals of a binary tree. Why must we check before the call to preorder when implementing as a method, whereas we could check inside the call when implementing as a function?
