Implementing Binary Trees, Tries, and Union-Find in Rust

Tech May 16 1

Binary Tree

Implemented with Option<Box<T>>. Box is a smart pointer that allocates on the heap, ideal for recursive types that would ohterwise have unbounded size. LeetCode often uses Option<Rc<RefCell<T>>>, which is quite bloated.

#[derive(PartialEq)]
enum ChildSide {
    LEFT,
    RIGHT,
}

#[derive(Default)]
struct BinaryNode {
    value: i32,
    left: Option<Box<BinaryNode>>,
    right: Option<Box<BinaryNode>>,
}

impl BinaryNode {
    pub fn new() -> Self {
        Self { value: 0, left: None, right: None }
    }

    pub fn new_with_value(val: i32) -> Self {
        Self { value: val, left: None, right: None }
    }

    pub fn attach_child(&mut self, child: BinaryNode, side: ChildSide) {
        match side {
            ChildSide::LEFT => self.left = Some(Box::new(child)),
            ChildSide::RIGHT => self.right = Some(Box::new(child)),
        }
    }

    pub fn detach_child(&mut self, side: ChildSide) {
        match side {
            ChildSide::LEFT => self.left = None,
            ChildSide::RIGHT => self.right = None,
        }
    }

    pub fn preorder(&self) {
        println!("{}", self.value);
        if let Some(ref left_node) = self.left {
            left_node.preorder();
        }
        if let Some(ref right_node) = self.right {
            right_node.preorder();
        }
    }
}

fn main() {
    let mut root = BinaryNode::new();
    root.attach_child(BinaryNode::new_with_value(5), ChildSide::LEFT);
    if let Some(ref mut left_child) = root.left {
        left_child.attach_child(BinaryNode::new_with_value(15), ChildSide::RIGHT);
    }
    root.preorder();
    let p = root.left.as_ref().unwrap().right.as_ref().unwrap();
    println!("Before detach: {}", p.value);
    root.detach_child(ChildSide::LEFT);
    root.attach_child(BinaryNode::new_with_value(12), ChildSide::RIGHT);
    // println!("After detach: {}", p.value); // fails to compile: value borrowed after move
}

Trie

Built using HashMap<char, TrieNode>.

use std::collections::HashMap;

#[derive(Default, Debug)]
struct TrieNode {
    is_terminal: bool,
    child_nodes: HashMap<char, TrieNode>,
}

#[derive(Default, Debug)]
pub struct Trie {
    root: TrieNode,
}

impl Trie {
    pub fn new() -> Self {
        Trie { root: TrieNode::default() }
    }

    pub fn insert(&mut self, word: &str) {
        let mut node = &mut self.root;
        for ch in word.chars() {
            node = node.child_nodes.entry(ch).or_default();
        }
        node.is_terminal = true;
    }

    pub fn contains(&self, word: &str) -> bool {
        let mut node = &self.root;
        for ch in word.chars() {
            match node.child_nodes.get(&ch) {
                Some(next) => node = next,
                None => return false,
            }
        }
        node.is_terminal
    }
}

fn main() {
    let mut trie = Trie::new();
    trie.insert("hello");
    trie.insert("hi");
    trie.insert("hey");
    trie.insert("world");
    println!("contains 'hiiii'? {}", trie.contains("hiiii"));
}

For a faster alternative, replace the first few lines with:

use std::collections::HashMap;
use fxhash::FxBuildHasher;

type FastHashMap<K, V> = HashMap<K, V, FxBuildHasher>;

#[derive(Default)]
struct TrieNode {
    is_terminal: bool,
    child_nodes: FastHashMap<char, TrieNode>,
}

This uses a simpler, faster hash functon.

Union-Find

use std::collections::HashMap;

struct DisjointSet {
    parent: Vec<usize>,
}

impl DisjointSet {
    pub fn with_size(size: usize) -> Self {
        DisjointSet { parent: (0..size).collect() }
    }

    pub fn set_count(&self) -> usize {
        (0..self.parent.len()).filter(|&i| self.parent[i] == i).count()
    }

    pub fn list_sets(&mut self) -> Vec<Vec<usize>> {
        let mut groups: HashMap<usize, Vec<usize>> = HashMap::new();
        for i in 0..self.parent.len() {
            groups.entry(self.root_of(i)).or_default().push(i);
        }
        groups.into_values().collect()
    }

    pub fn root_of(&mut self, index: usize) -> usize {
        if index != self.parent[index] {
            self.parent[index] = self.root_of(self.parent[index]);
        }
        self.parent[index]
    }

    pub fn unite(&mut self, a: usize, b: usize) {
        let root_a = self.root_of(a);
        let root_b = self.root_of(b);
        if root_a != root_b {
            self.parent[root_a] = root_b;
        }
    }

    pub fn is_same_set(&mut self, a: usize, b: usize) -> bool {
        self.root_of(a) == self.root_of(b)
    }
}

fn main() {
    let n = 5;
    let pairs = vec![vec![0, 2], vec![0, 3]];
    let mut ds = DisjointSet::with_size(n);
    for p in pairs {
        ds.unite(p[0], p[1]);
    }
    println!("Number of sets: {}", ds.set_count());   // output: Number of sets: 3
    println!("Disjoint sets: {:?}", ds.list_sets());  // e.g., [[0,2,3],[1],[4]] (order may vary)
}
