This document provides a cheat-sheet on how to work with the provided start-code.
$ ./bin/main --help
usage: Terminal-based UI for BST/AVL trees [-h] [--log-level LOG_LEVEL]
[--mode MODE] [--echo]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--log-level LOG_LEVEL, -l LOG_LEVEL
Minimum verbosity for logging. Available in ascending
order: debug, info, warning, error, crirical.
--mode MODE, -m MODE Tree mode. Available options: bst, avl.
--echo, -e Echo input. Useful if redirecting input from file
As shown above, you can specify if the program should use a BST or an AVL tree. The default is BST, and you can change it by setting the AVL mode:
- Run in BST mode:
./bin/main - Run in AVL mode:
./bin/main -m avl
The echo option is useful if you want to redirect input from a file. It will cause each input to be printed to stdout.
- Run normally:
./bin/main - Run with input from file:
./bin/main -e < some_input.txt
If you'd like to use python's logging module for debugging purposes, set the logging level accordingly:
- Show all logging statements:
./bin/main -l debug - Show all but debug statements:
.bin/main -l info - Only show warning, error, and critical statements:
./bin/main -l warning
There are examples of both debug and info statements in the start code, e.g.,
log.debug("calling bst.BST.add() explicitly from child") and
log.info("Running in BST mode").
