Programming Project 11.5. (Using BST to resolve collision in the hash table)

Read the description very carefully. You have to practically combine the code that is already provided in the book and program the solution for this problem.

 

11.5 Instead of using a linked list to resolve collisions, as in separate chaining, use a binary search tree. That is, create a hash table that is an array of trees. You can use the hashChain.java program (Listing 11.3) as a starting point and the Tree class from the tree.java program (Listing 8.1) in Chapter 8. To display a small tree-based hash table, you could use an in-order traversal of each tree.

The advantage of a tree over a linked list is that it can be searched in O(logN) instead of O(N) time. This time savings can be a significant advantage if very high load factors are encountered. Checking 15 items takes a maximum of 15 comparisons in a list but only 4 in a tree.

Duplicates can present problems in both trees and hash tables, so add some code that prevents a duplicate key from being inserted in the hash table. (Beware: The find() method in Tree assumes a non-empty tree.) To shorten the listing for this program, you can forget about deletion, which for trees requires a lot of code.
