This is one of three trees I am using to parse text and print out every unique word, the line numbers it appears on, and the number of times it appears. I have already used a hash and tree map and have both of them working correctly. My instructor said that we need to use an AVL tree for the third map and gave us code. This is where I am unsure where to go. I will include the method that creates/fills the AVL map as well as the AVL map class. If further code is needed, I will gladly include it.

    public void avlMap(String fileName){

    //try/catch block to check for invalid file name
    try{
        //creates new bufferedreader object for input file
        BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));

        //creates new treeMap object named avlMap
        Map avlMap = new AvlMap();
        String oneLine;

        //Read the words and add them to the avlMap
        for (int lineNum = 1; (oneLine = inFile.readLine()) != null; lineNum++){
            String delims = " !@#$%{}[]/^&*,.()-;:\'\"\t";
            StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(oneLine, delims);
            while (st.hasMoreTokens()){
                String word = st.nextToken();
                WordStats stats = (WordStats) avlMap.get(word);

                //if WordStats is empty/doesnt exist,
                //if exists, adds line numbers into a WordStats in the value
                //...field for the int's respective key
                if (stats == null){
                    stats = new WordStats();
                    avlMap.put(word, stats);
                }
                //WordStats already exists for the word
                //calls addOccurrence method and adds the line number
                stats.addOccurrence(new Integer(lineNum));  
            }
        }

        //creates a new iterator object to iterate entries
        Iterator itr = avlMap.entrySet().iterator();

        //runs printEntry for each key in the treeMap
        while (itr.hasNext()){
            printEntry((Map.Entry) itr.next());
        }
    }
        //the file name used wasn't able to be reached
        catch(IOException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
}

AvlMap class. I know it is quite lengthy, but the methods seem to be pretty much the same as the rest of the map classes I have been using.

    public class AvlMap <AnyType extends Comparable<? super AnyType>> implements Map 
    {
    //construct the tree
    public AvlMap( ){
        root = null;
    }

    //inserts object into the map
    public void insert( AnyType x, AnyType y ){
        root = insert( x, y, root );
    }

    //removes the key from the map
    public void remove( AnyType x ){
        root = remove( x, root );
    }

    //internal method to remove from a subtree
    private AvlNode<AnyType> remove( AnyType x, AvlNode<AnyType> t ){
        if( t == null )
            return t;   // Item not found; do nothing

        int compareResult = x.compareTo( t.key );

        if( compareResult < 0 )
            t.left = remove( x, t.left );
        else if( compareResult > 0 )
            t.right = remove( x, t.right );
        else if( t.left != null && t.right != null ) // Two children
        {
            t.key = findMin( t.right ).key;
            t.right = remove( t.key, t.right );
        }
        else
            t = ( t.left != null ) ? t.left : t.right;
        return balance( t );
    }

    //returns the smallest item in the tree
    public AnyType findMin( ){
        if( isEmpty( ) )
            throw new UnderflowException("Error" );
        return findMin( root ).key;
    }

    //returns the largest item in the tree
    public AnyType findMax( ){
        if( isEmpty( ) )
            throw new UnderflowException("Error" );
        return findMax( root ).key;
    }

    //finds the provided item in the tree
    public boolean contains( AnyType key ){
        return contains( key, root );
    }

    //make the tree empty
    public void makeEmpty( ){
        root = null;
    }

    public boolean isEmpty( ){
        return root == null;
    }

    //prints the tree in sorted order
    public void printTree( ){
        if( isEmpty( ) )
            System.out.println( "Empty tree" );
        else
            printTree( root );
    }

Here is my WordStats class that saves everything into a set and keeps occurrance.

    import java.util.SortedSet;
    import java.util.TreeSet;


    public class WordStats {
private int occurrences;
private SortedSet<Integer> lineNumbers = new TreeSet<Integer>();

public void addOccurrence(int lineNumber){
    occurrences++;
    lineNumbers.add(lineNumber);
}

public int getOccurrences(){
    return occurrences;
}

public SortedSet<Integer> getLines(){
    return lineNumbers;
}
    }

When I run the program, I get the error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException:

java.lang.String cannot be cast to WordStats

at driver1.avlMap(driver1.java:182)

at driver1.main(driver1.java:36)

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide. There are also not any compiler errors.

The root cause of this issue, as mentioned in the stack trace, is that you are trying to cast an object of type String to something of type WordStats. I think that this occurs in this line:

WordStats stats = (WordStats) avlMap.get(word);

So let's look at avlMap.get(word). This looks as follows:

@Override
public Object get(Object key) {
    return key;
}

So this is problematic - it looks like every time you try to do a lookup, you're just returning the key that you were trying to look up inside the map! That would explain the casting error - you're passing in a String into avlMap.get(), which then returns it. When you try casting it to a WordStats, you're getting an error because a String isn't a WordStats.

To fix this, I think you need your get method to actually do a search in the AVL tree and do a lookup. I will leave this for you to complete yourself. I would strongly suggest not trying to integrate your map into a larger program until you've tested it more thoroughly - having all of the logic to process words layered on top of a buggy AVL tree will make debugging extremely difficult, if not impossible. Try writing some unit tests for your AVL tree to see whether it's working. You could also consider swapping out your AVL tree map for a normal TreeMap in the interim to see if the driver code works.

As another note - you should strongly consider not implementing the raw type Map and instead implement Map parameterized over a key and value type. This makes the interface way easier to use and would help catch the bug that you encountered.

Hope this helps!

  • The other two maps I used were Tree and Hash maps. This should get me going in the right direction. I also noticed you deleted the last line in my post. I understand a lot of people have problems with that, which is understandable. If you would like me to follow through, just lmk. – waltershc Mar 18 '13 at 19:55
