Overview

This class provides the core data objects that comprise an AVL-balanced tree.

Subroutines/methods

new

    $node   = Paranoid::Data::AVLTree::AVLNode->new($key, $val);

This method creates a new AVLNode object. Like hashes, the key must be defined, but it cannot be a zero-length string. In those cases, this method will return undef.

key

    $key    = $node->key;

This method returns the key for the node.

val

    $val    = $node->val;

This method returns the associated value for the node. It can be undef.

setVal

    $rv     = $node->setVal($val);

This method sets the assocated value for the node.

right

    $ref    = $node->right;

This method retrieves a reference to the next right-side node in the branch, if any.

setRight

    $rv     = $node->setRight($node);

This method sets/removes the reference to the next right-side node in the branch.

left

    $ref    = $node->left;

This method retrieves a reference to the next left-side node in the branch, if any.

setLeft

    $rv     = $node->setLeft($node);

This method sets/removes the reference to the next left-side node in the branch.

incrRHeight

    $rv     = $node->incrRHeight;

This method increments the height counter for the ride-side sub-branch.

incrLHeight

    $rv     = $node->incrLHeight;

This method increments the height counter for the left-side sub-branch.

addRHeight

    $rv     = $node->addRHeight($n);

This method adds the passed value to the height counter for the right-side sub-branch.

addLHeight

    $rv     = $node->addLHeight($n);

This method adds the passed value to the height counter for the left-side sub-branch.

decrRHeight

    $rv     = $node->decrRHeight;

This method decrements the height counter for the right-side sub-branch.

decrLHeight

    $rv     = $node->decrLHeight;

This method decrements the height counter for the left-side sub-branch.

balance

    $balance = $node->balance;

This returns the node balance, which is a relative indidcator of the disparity in heights of the right & left sub-branches. A negative number denotes a longer left-side branch, zero means equal sub-branch heights, and a positive integer denotes a longer right-side branch.

count

    $count  = $node->count;

This method returns the count of nodes, including all nodes in linked sub-branches.

height

    $height = $node->height;

This method returns the longest height of the node and any attached sub-branches.

rHeight

    $height = $node->rHeight;

This method returns the height of the right-side sub-branch, or zero if there is no linked branch.

lHeight

    $height = $node->lHeight;

This method returns the height of the left-side sub-branch, or zero if there is no linked branch.

updtHeights

    $rv     = $node->updtHeights;

This method performs a brute force recalculation of all attached sub-branches.

children

    @crefs  = $node->children;

This returns references to the next nodes in any attadhed sub-branches.
