Ok to preface, this is to help with a school assignment. I understand there are unpythonic methods in the following code but this is the format they insist upon. In my insert method I have 4 cases to account for. All of them are dealt with appropriately except for else and im unsure why. For some reason the method insert isn't updating the linked list to include the new_node when this new_node is not placed at the end or start of the list. I'm unsure why this is as at the appropriate position we store the old value of current, we then store its previous and we set current = new_node, we then set new_node's next to be the old value of current and new_node's previous to be the old currents previous. I'm confused as to why this won't work.

You currently have code that links the new node to nodes in the list, but no code that links the existing nodes to the new node. The only gesture you have in that direction is current=new_node, which doesn't achieve anything useful (since current is a local variable and you're about to return from the function).
You probably want something like left.setNext(newnode) and right.setPrevious(newnode), though I'm not sure you've set up both of those variables correctly (one of them should probably be current, unless you're intending to replace an existing node).
This is what I've got so far but it is not working:
class Node:
rChild,lChild,data = None,None,None
def __init__(self,key):
self.rChild = None
self.lChild = None
self.data = key
class Tree:
root,size = None,0
def __init__(self):
self.root = None
self.size = 0
def insert(self,node,someNumber):
if node is None:
node = Node(someNumber)
else:
if node.data > someNumber:
self.insert(node.rchild,someNumber)
else:
self.insert(node.rchild, someNumber)
return
def main():
t = Tree()
t.root = Node(4)
t.root.rchild = Node(5)
print t.root.data #this works
print t.root.rchild.data #this works too
t = Tree()
t.insert(t.root,4)
t.insert(t.root,5)
print t.root.data #this fails
print t.root.rchild.data #this fails too

Here is a quick example of a binary insert:
class Node:
def __init__(self, val):
self.l_child = None
self.r_child = None
self.data = val
def binary_insert(root, node):
if root is None:
root = node
else:
if root.data > node.data:
if root.l_child is None:
root.l_child = node
else:
binary_insert(root.l_child, node)
else:
if root.r_child is None:
root.r_child = node
else:
binary_insert(root.r_child, node)

return

class Node:
rChild,lChild,data = None,None,None
This is wrong - it makes your variables class variables - that is, every instance of Node uses the same values (changing rChild of any node changes it for all nodes!). This is clearly not what you want; try
class Node:
def __init__(self, key):
self.rChild = None
self.lChild = None
self.data = key
now each node has its own set of variables. The same applies to your definition of Tree,
class Tree:
root,size = None,0 # <- lose this line!
def __init__(self):
self.root = None
self.size = 0
Further, each class should be a "new-style" class derived from the "object" class and should chain back to object.__init__():
class Node(object):
def __init__(self, data, rChild=None, lChild=None):
super(Node,self).__init__()
self.data = data
self.rChild = rChild
self.lChild = lChild
class Tree(object):
def __init__(self):
super(Tree,self).__init__()
self.root = None
self.size = 0
Also, main() is indented too far - as shown, it is a method of Tree which is uncallable because it does not accept a self argument.
Also, you are modifying the object's data directly (t.root = Node(4)) which kind of destroys encapsulation (the whole point of having classes in the first place); you should be doing something more like
def main():
t = Tree()
t.add(4) # <- let the tree create a data Node and insert it
t.add(5)
class Node:
rChild,lChild,parent,data = None,None,None,0
def __init__(self,key):
self.rChild = None
self.lChild = None
self.parent = None
self.data = key
class Tree:
root,size = None,0
def __init__(self):
self.root = None
self.size = 0
def insert(self,someNumber):
self.size = self.size+1
if self.root is None:
self.root = Node(someNumber)
else:
self.insertWithNode(self.root, someNumber)
def insertWithNode(self,node,someNumber):
if node.lChild is None and node.rChild is None:#external node
if someNumber > node.data:
newNode = Node(someNumber)
node.rChild = newNode
newNode.parent = node
else:
newNode = Node(someNumber)
node.lChild = newNode
newNode.parent = node
else: #not external
if someNumber > node.data:
if node.rChild is not None:
self.insertWithNode(node.rChild, someNumber)
else: #if empty node
newNode = Node(someNumber)
node.rChild = newNode
newNode.parent = node
else:
if node.lChild is not None:
self.insertWithNode(node.lChild, someNumber)
else:
newNode = Node(someNumber)
node.lChild = newNode
newNode.parent = node
def printTree(self,someNode):
if someNode is None:
pass
else:
self.printTree(someNode.lChild)
print someNode.data
self.printTree(someNode.rChild)
def main():
t = Tree()
t.insert(5)
t.insert(3)
t.insert(7)
t.insert(4)
t.insert(2)
t.insert(1)
t.insert(6)
t.printTree(t.root)

The Op's Tree.insert method qualifies for the "Gross Misnomer of the Week" award -- it doesn't insert anything. It creates a node which is not attached to any other node (not that there are any nodes to attach it to) and then the created node is trashed when the method returns.
For the edification of #Hugh Bothwell:
>>> class Foo(object):
... bar = None
...
>>> a = Foo()
>>> b = Foo()
>>> a.bar
>>> a.bar = 42
>>> b.bar
>>> b.bar = 666
>>> a.bar
42
>>> b.bar
666
>>>
The accepted answer neglects to set a parent attribute for each node inserted, without which one cannot implement a successor method which finds the successor in an in-order tree walk in O(h) time, where h is the height of the tree (as opposed to the O(n) time needed for the walk).
Here is an implementation based on the pseudocode given in Cormen et al., Introduction to Algorithms, including assignment of a parent attribute and a successor method:
class Node(object):
def __init__(self, key):
self.key = key
self.left = None
self.right = None
self.parent = None
class Tree(object):
def __init__(self, root=None):
self.root = root
def insert(self, z):
y = None
x = self.root
while x is not None:
y = x
if z.key < x.key:
x = x.left
else:
x = x.right
z.parent = y
if y is None:
self.root = z # Tree was empty
elif z.key < y.key:
y.left = z
else:
y.right = z
#staticmethod
def minimum(x):
while x.left is not None:
x = x.left
return x
#staticmethod
def successor(x):
if x.right is not None:
return Tree.minimum(x.right)
y = x.parent
while y is not None and x == y.right:
x = y
y = y.parent
return y
Here are some tests to show that the tree behaves as expected for the example given by DTing:
import pytest
#pytest.fixture
def tree():
t = Tree()
t.insert(Node(3))
t.insert(Node(1))
t.insert(Node(7))
t.insert(Node(5))
return t
def test_tree_insert(tree):
assert tree.root.key == 3
assert tree.root.left.key == 1
assert tree.root.right.key == 7
assert tree.root.right.left.key == 5
def test_tree_successor(tree):
assert Tree.successor(tree.root.left).key == 3
assert Tree.successor(tree.root.right.left).key == 7
if __name__ == "__main__":
pytest.main([__file__])
Just something to help you to start on.
A (simple idea of) binary tree search would be quite likely be implement in python according the lines:
def search(node, key):
if node is None: return None # key not found
if key< node.key: return search(node.left, key)
elif key> node.key: return search(node.right, key)
else: return node.value # found key
Now you just need to implement the scaffolding (tree creation and value inserts) and you are done.
I find the solutions a bit clumsy on the insert part. You could return the root reference and simplify it a bit:
def binary_insert(root, node):
if root is None:
return node
if root.data > node.data:
root.l_child = binary_insert(root.l_child, node)
else:
root.r_child = binary_insert(root.r_child, node)
return root
its easy to implement a BST using two classes, 1. Node and 2. Tree
Tree class will be just for user interface, and actual methods will be implemented in Node class.

Here is a compact, object oriented, recursive implementation:
class BTreeNode(object):
def __init__(self, data):
self.data = data
self.rChild = None
self.lChild = None
def __str__(self):
return (self.lChild.__str__() + '<-' if self.lChild != None else '') + self.data.__str__() + ('->' + self.rChild.__str__() if self.rChild != None else '')
def insert(self, btreeNode):
if self.data > btreeNode.data: #insert left
if self.lChild == None:
self.lChild = btreeNode
else:
self.lChild.insert(btreeNode)
else: #insert right
if self.rChild == None:
self.rChild = btreeNode
else:
self.rChild.insert(btreeNode)
def main():
btreeRoot = BTreeNode(5)
print 'inserted %s:' %5, btreeRoot
btreeRoot.insert(BTreeNode(7))
print 'inserted %s:' %7, btreeRoot
btreeRoot.insert(BTreeNode(3))
print 'inserted %s:' %3, btreeRoot
btreeRoot.insert(BTreeNode(1))
print 'inserted %s:' %1, btreeRoot
btreeRoot.insert(BTreeNode(2))
print 'inserted %s:' %2, btreeRoot
btreeRoot.insert(BTreeNode(4))
print 'inserted %s:' %4, btreeRoot
btreeRoot.insert(BTreeNode(6))
print 'inserted %s:' %6, btreeRoot
The output of the above main() is:
inserted 5: 5
inserted 7: 5->7
inserted 3: 3<-5->7
inserted 1: 1<-3<-5->7
inserted 2: 1->2<-3<-5->7
inserted 4: 1->2<-3->4<-5->7

A simple, recursive method with only 1 function and using an array of values:
class TreeNode(object):
def __init__(self, value: int, left=None, right=None):
super().__init__()
self.value = value
self.left = left
self.right = right
def __str__(self):
return str(self.value)
def create_node(values, lower, upper) -> TreeNode:
if lower > upper:
return None
index = (lower + upper) // 2
value = values[index]
node = TreeNode(value=value)
node.left = create_node(values, lower, index - 1)
node.right = create_node(values, index + 1, upper)
return node
def print_bst(node: TreeNode):
if node:
# Simple pre-order traversal when printing the tree
print("node: {}".format(node))
print_bst(node.left)
print_bst(node.right)
if __name__ == '__main__':
vals = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
bst = create_node(vals, lower=0, upper=len(vals) - 1)
print_bst(bst)
As you can see, we really only need 1 method, which is recursive: create_node. We pass in the full values array in each create_node method call, however, we update the lower and upper index values every time that we make the recursive call.
Then, using the lower and upper index values, we calculate the index value of the current node and capture it in value. This value is the value for the current node, which we use to create a node.
From there, we set the values of left and right by recursively calling the function, until we reach the end state of the recursion call when lower is greater than upper.
Important: we update the value of upper when creating the left side of the tree. Conversely, we update the value of lower when creating the right side of the tree.
Hopefully this helps!
The following code is basic on #DTing‘s answer and what I learn from class, which uses a while loop to insert (indicated in the code).
class Node:
def __init__(self, val):
self.l_child = None
self.r_child = None
self.data = val
def binary_insert(root, node):
y = None
x = root
z = node
#while loop here
while x is not None:
y = x
if z.data < x.data:
x = x.l_child
else:
x = x.r_child
z.parent = y
if y == None:
root = z
elif z.data < y.data:
y.l_child = z
else:
y.r_child = z
def in_order_print(root):
if not root:
return
in_order_print(root.l_child)
print(root.data)
in_order_print(root.r_child)
r = Node(3)
binary_insert(r, Node(7))
binary_insert(r, Node(1))
binary_insert(r, Node(5))
in_order_print(r)
The problem, or at least one problem with your code is here:-
def insert(self,node,someNumber):
if node is None:
node = Node(someNumber)
else:
if node.data > someNumber:
self.insert(node.rchild,someNumber)
else:
self.insert(node.rchild, someNumber)
return
You see the statement "if node.data > someNumber:" and the associated "else:" statement both have the same code after them. i.e you do the same thing whether the if statement is true or false.
I'd suggest you probably intended to do different things here, perhaps one of these should say self.insert(node.lchild, someNumber) ?
