This assignment builds off of the previous one conceptually, although the data structure is fundamentally different. Make sure to use the MovieTree.hpp file uploaded on Moodle for assignment 7, not the MovieTree.hpp of the previous assignment 6. As usual, do not modify the header file. You may implement helper functions in your .cpp file to facilitate recursion if you want as long as you dont add those functions to the MovieTree class.
MovieTree Class
Your task is to implement a binary search tree of linked lists of movies. Disclaimer: this diabolical super data structure is not practical; it is meant to challenge you and improve your skills manipulating and traversing BSTs and LLs. Tree nodes will contain a letter of the alphabet and a linked list. The linked list will be an alphabetically sorted list of movies which start with that letter. For example:
MovieTree()
- Constructor: Initialize any member variables of the class to default
~MovieTree()
- Destructor: Free all memory that was allocated
void printMovieInventory()
Print every movie in the data structure in alphabetical order of titles using the following format. For TreeNode t and LLMovieNode m:
// for every TreeNode (t) in the tree cout << Movies starting with letter: << t->titleChar << endl;
// for every LLMovieNode (m) attached to t
cout << >> << m->title << << m->rating << endl;
Sample output format
Movies starting with letter: B >> Bowling for Columbine 8
Movies starting with letter: D
>> Dancin Outlaw 8.1
>> Dogtown and Z-Boys 7.7
>> Down from the Mountain 7.4
void addMovie(int ranking, std::string title, int year, float rating)
Add a movie to the data structure in the correct place based on its title.
If there is no tree node corresponding to the first letter of title , create it and insert it in the tree in the alphabetically correct position
Create a linked list node with ranking, title, year and rating, and insert it in the linked list associated with the tree node associated with the first letter of title . The linked list must also be in alphabetical order, such that for each node,
node->title < node->next->title
Hint: you can compare strings with <, >, ==, etc. Also, you may assume that no two movies have the same title
void deleteMovie(std::string title)
Delete the linked list node that contains title. If as a result of this deletion, the linked list becomes empty, delete the associated tree node. If the movie does not exist in the data structure, print the following message
cout << Movie: << title << not found, cannot delete. << endl;
Driver
Your main function should first read information about each movie from a file and store that information in a MovieTree object. The name of the file with this information should be passed in as a command-line argument. An example file is Movies.csv on Moodle. It is in the format:
<Movie 1 ranking>,<Movie 1 title>,<Movie 1 year>,<Movie 1 rating> <Movie 2 ranking>,<Movie 2 title>,<Movie 2 year>,<Movie 2 rating>
Etc
Note: For autogradings sake, insert the nodes to the tree in the order they are read in. After reading in the information on each movie from the file, display a menu to the user.
cout << ======Main Menu====== << endl; cout << 1. Print the inventory << endl; cout << 2. Delete a movie << endl; cout << 3. Quit << endl;
The options should have the following behavior:
Print the inventory: Call your trees printMovieInventory function
- Delete a movie: Call your deleteMovie function on a title specified by the user. Prompt the user for a movie title using the following code:
cout << Enter a movie title: << endl;
- Quit: Exit after printing a friendly message to the user:
cout << Goodbye! << endl;
