Overview

Tree::RedBlackNode is a pure-Ruby implementation of a Red-Black tree – i.e., a self-balancing binary search tree with O(log n) search, insert and delete operations. It is appropriate for maintaining an ordered collection where insertion and deletion are desired at arbitrary positions.

The implementation differs slightly from the Wikipedia description referenced above. In particular, leaf nodes are nil, which affects the details of node deletion.

While a Red-Black tree can be constructed from nodes alone, the Tree::RedBlack API provides a cleaner way of working with Red-Black trees. Start there if only using the Red-Black tree as a container.

#bsearch(&block) ⇒ Object

Returns a node satisfying a criterion defined in block by binary search.

If block evaluates to true or false, returns the first node for which the block evaluates to true. In this case, the criterion is expected to return false for nodes preceding the matching node and true for subsequent nodes.

Example

require 'tree/red_black'

shuffled_values = [*1..10].shuffle
root = shuffled_values.reduce(Tree::RedBlackNode.new) do |acc, v|
  acc.insert_red_black(v)
end
root.bsearch { |node| node.key >= 7 }
                      #=> <Tree::RedBlackNode:0x00... @key=7 ...>

If block evaluates to <0, 0 or >0, returns first node for which block evaluates to 0. Otherwise returns nil. In this case, the criterion is expected to return <0 for nodes preceding the matching node, 0 for some subsequent nodes and >0 for nodes beyond that.

Example

require 'tree/red_black'

shuffled_values = [*1..10].shuffle
root = shuffled_values.reduce(Tree::RedBlackNode.new) do |acc, v|
  acc.insert_red_black(v)
end
root.bsearch { |node| 7 <=> node.key }
                      #=> <Tree::RedBlackNode:0x00... @key=7 ...>

If block+ is not given, returns an enumerator.

#delete_red_black(value) ⇒ Object

Deletes the given value from a tree whose root node is self. If the tree has only one remaining node and its key attribute matches value, then the remaining node’s key attribute is set to nil but the node itself is not removed. Otherwise, the first node found whose key matches value is removed from the tree, and the tree is re-balanced. The root of the balanced tree is returned.

Example

require 'tree/red_black'

root = [*1..10].reduce(Tree::RedBlackNode.new) do |acc, v|
  acc.insert_red_black(v)
end
root = [*4..8].reduce(root) do |acc, v|
  acc.delete_red_black(v)
end
root.map(&:key)                 #=> [1, 2, 3, 9, 10]

#insert_red_black(value, allow_duplicates = true) ⇒ Object

Since a Red-Black tree maintains an ordered, Enumerable collection, every value inserted must be Comparable with every other value. Methods each, map, select, find, sort, etc., can be applied to a Red-Black tree’s root node to iterate over all nodes in the tree.

Each node yielded by enumeration has a key attribute to retrieve the value stored in that node. Method each, in particular, is aliased to in_order, so that nodes are sorted in ascending order by key value. Nodes can also be traversed by method pre_order, e.g., to generate paths in the tree.

Example

require 'tree/red_black'

root = Tree::RedBlackNode.new
p root.key                      #=> nil
root = root.insert_red_black(0)
p root.key                      #=> 0
root = root.insert_red_black(1)
p root.key                      #=> 0
p root.left                     #=> nil
p root.right.key                #=> 1
root = root.insert_red_black(2)

#search(value, ifnone = nil) ⇒ Object

Returns a node whose key matches value by binary search. If no match is found, calls non-nil ifnone, otherwise returns nil.

Example

require 'tree/red_black'

shuffled_values = [*1..10].shuffle
root = shuffled_values.reduce(Tree::RedBlackNode.new) do |acc, v|
  acc.insert_red_black(v)
end
root.search(7)        #=> <Tree::RedBlackNode:0x00..., @key=7, ...>

#succObject

Returns the node succeeding self, or nil if no successor exists. If duplicate keys are allowed, it’s possible that succ.key == key.

Example

require 'tree/red_black'

root = [*1..10].reduce(Tree::RedBlackNode.new) do |acc, v|
  acc.insert_red_black(v)
end
root.right.right.key            #=> 8
root.right.right.succ.key       #=> 9
