Programming Assignment: Spell Checking and Autocomplete

Steps: Create two zip files: mod4part1.zip(Spell Checking) and mod4part2.zip(Autocomplete), mod4part1.zip(Spell Checking) consists two java files DictionaryBST.java and DictionaryLL.java, create zip of these two files and upload in first column, mod4part2.zip(Autocomplete) consists one java file AutoCompleteDictionaryTrie.java, create zip file of this and upload in second column.

mod4part1.zip(Spell Checking):

DictionaryBST.java:

package spelling;

import java.util.TreeSet;

public class DictionaryBST implements Dictionary {
   private TreeSet<String> dict;
   
   public DictionaryBST() {
       dict = new TreeSet<String>();
   }
   
   public boolean addWord(String word) {
       return dict.add(word.toLowerCase());
   }

   public int size() {
       return dict.size();
   }

   public boolean isWord(String s) {
       return dict.contains(s.toLowerCase());
   }
}

Q3. Which of the following statements are true about the following binary search tree? Select all that apply.

Assume that no nodes have been deleted from this tree.

• 42 must have been inserted first.
• 32 must have been inserted before 45
• A different insertion order with the same values could give a different tree structure.
• 32 must have been inserted before 12
• There is only one insertion order that could have produced this tree.

Q4. Which of the following statements are true about the running time of binary search trees? Assume that when we use big-O notation we mean the tightest big-O bound. Select all that apply.

• The tightest possible worst case time to find an element in an arbitrary BST is O(n)
• The tightest possible worst case time to find an element in an arbitrary BST is O(log(n))
• The tightest possible worst case time to find an element in a balanced BST is O(log(n))
• Inserting sorted data into an unbalanced BST leads to the worst case BST structure (i.e. a structure where finding an element will take the longest).
• The tightest possible worst case time to find an element in a balanced BST is O(n)

Q6. In your benchmarking of the DictionaryBST structure, you probably found that the time to find words did not significantly increase as the Dictionary got larger. Which of the following is the most likely reason for this behavior?

• We were measuring the best case performance of the dictionary, which does not change as the dictionary size grows.
• The running time to find an element in a balanced BST is O(1) so we would not expect the running time to get larger as the dictionary got bigger.
• log(n) is sufficiently small and grows sufficiently slowly that other factors (e.g. memory use) had a bigger effect on the running time than the size to find the word in the dictionary.
