Description
Objectives
• Build a binary search tree (BST)
• Search and traverse a BST
Background
Online Movie Service
An online movie service needs help keeping track of their stock. You should help
them by developing a program that stores the movies in a Binary Search Tree (BST)
ordered by movie title. For each of the movies in the store’s inventory, the following
information is kept:
– IMDB ranking
– Title
– Year released
– Quantity in stock
Your program will have a menu similar to previous assignments from which the
user could select options. In this assignment, your menu needs to include options for
finding a movie, renting a movie, printing the inventory, and quitting the program.
Program Specifications
• Movie Information is in a file and the name of the file is passed in as a
command-line argument. An example file is on the website HW5-Movies.txt.
• Insert all the movies in the tree. Open the movies file and read all movie data
line-by-line, creating a MovieNode for each movie. Insert each node into the
Binary Search Tree ordered alphabetically by movie title. Note: the data should
be added to the tree in the order it is read in.
• You must implement the methods and make use of the Binary Search Tree
defined in the MovieTree.hpp file (below).
• Menu: After the tree has been built, display a menu with the following options.
o 1. Find a movie. When the user selects this option from the menu, they should
be prompted for the name of the movie. Your program should then search the
tree and display all information for that movie. If the movie is not found in the
tree, your program should display, “Movie not found.” The findMovie
method included in the MovieTree.hpp header file is a void type. All movie
information should be displayed in the findMovie method.
o 2. Rent a movie. When the user selects this option from the menu, they should
be prompted for the name of the movie. If the movie is found in the tree, your
program should update the Quantity in stock property of the movie and
display the new information about the movie. If the movie is not found, your
program should display, “Movie not found.” If the movie is found in the tree,
but the Quantity is zero, display “Movie out of stock.”. Just like findMovie,
rentMovie is also a void type. Information about the movie rented should be
displayed in the rentMovie method.
o 3. Print the entire inventory. When the user selects this option from the
menu, your program should display all movie titles and the quantity available
in sorted order by title. See the lecture notes on in-order tree traversal and
your textbook for more information. If the inventory is empty, do not print
anything.
o 4. Quit the program. When the user selects this option, your program should
exit.
• Hints
o The header file requires a destructor ~MovieTree() but we will not
test this function in this assignment. A future assignment may test your
ability to write a correct destructor for a Tree.
o The private method:
MovieNode *MovieTree::search(MovieNode *node, std::string title)
should search the tree pointed to by `node` for a node with the given title.
We will not test this method directly, but you may call this private
`search` method from the other methods in the MovieTree class.
