create a binary tree from a string of letters (like A, B, and so on) entered by the user. Each letter will be displayed in its own node. Construct the tree so that all the nodes that contain letters are leaves. Parent nodes can contain some non-letter symbol like +. Make sure that every parent node has exactly two children. Dont worry if the tree is unbalanced. Note that this will not be a search tree; theres no quick way to find a given node. You may end up with something like this: + + E + D - - + C - - - - - - A B - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Programming Projects 425 One way to begin is by making an array of trees. (A group of unconnected trees is called a forest.) Take each letter typed by the user and put it in a node. Take each of these nodes and put it in a tree, where it will be the root. Now put all these one-node trees in the array. Start by making a new tree with + at the root and two of the one-node trees as its children. Then keep adding one-node trees from the array to this larger tree. Dont worry if its an unbalanced tree. You can actually store this intermediate tree in the array by writing over a cell whose contents have already been added to the tree. The routines find(), insert(), and delete(), which apply only to search trees, can be deleted. Keep the displayTree() method and the traversals because they will work on any binary tree.
