Explanation

In this program, we need to find out the total number of binary search trees can be constructed with n values. Below diagram shows a possible binary search tree with the key value as 3. So, we can construct a total of five binary search trees. When we choose node 1 as the root node, we get two trees. Similarly, one tree with 2 as root node and two trees when we select 3 as the root node.

This approach involves selecting a node recursively as the root node and create possible binary search tree.

An easy way to calculate the total number of possible binary search trees are through Catalan number:

Cn = (2n)! / n! *(n+1)!  

Algorithm

  1. Define Node class which has three attributes namely: data left and right. Here, left represents the left child of the node and right represents the right child of the node.
  2. When a node is created, data will be passed to the data attribute of the node and both left and right will be set to null.
  3. Define another class which has an attribute root.
    1. Root represents the root node of the tree and initialize it to null.
  4. numOfBST() will find out total possible binary search tree for given key:
    1. It will calculate the Catalan number for given key by making a call to factorial().
    2. Catalan number can be calculated using the formula:
      Cn = (2n)! / n! *(n+1)!
    3. Factorial() will calculate factorial of a given number.

Output:

Total number of possible Binary Search Trees with given key: 42

Python

#Represent a node of binary tree  
class Node:  
    def __init__(self,data):  
        #Assign data to the new node, set left and right children to None  
        self.data = data;  
        self.left = None;  
        self.right = None;  
   
class BinarySearchTree:  
    def __init__(self):  
        #Represent the root of binary tree  
        self.root = None;  
          
    #factorial() will calculate the factorial of given number  
    def factorial(self, num):  
        fact = 1;  
        if(num == 0):  
            return 1;  
        else:  
            while(num > 1):  
                fact = fact * num;  
                num = num - 1;  
            return fact;  
      
    #numOfBST() will calculate the total number of possible BST by calculating Catalan Number for given key  
    def numOfBST(self, key):  
        catalanNumber = self.factorial(2 * key)/(self.factorial(key + 1) * self.factorial(key));  
        return int(catalanNumber);  
   
bt = BinarySearchTree();  
   
#Display the total number of possible binary search tree with key 5  
print("Total number of possible Binary Search Trees with given key: " + str(bt.numOfBST(5)));

 

Output:
