Drawing ASTs for expressions: Correct Solution

For each of the Java expressions below:

• Draw an AST for the expression.
• Show how the expression evaluates at each node in the tree.

Be sure that your tree accurately reflects how Java would evaluate the expression.

Part 1

Given the following variables:

double escra = 1.0;

...draw the AST and evaluation results for the following expression:

3 % 8 * escra % 3

Solution

Things to double-check in your solution:

• Do you have the left and right branches on the correct side?
• Did you indicate the difference between ints and floating point values?

Part 2

Given the following variables:

boolean tateax = true;
double costan = 1.0;
int o = 3;
boolean ho = true;

...draw the AST and evaluation results for the following expression:

tateax && costan >= o && ho

Solution

Things to double-check in your solution:

• Does your tree correctly reflect the precedence of && and ||?
• Did you correctly show short-circuiting? (That is when the right branch of && or || is never evaluated because the left branch already determines the answer.)

Part 3

Draw the AST and evaluation results for the following expression:

0 + "1" + 2 + (3 + 4)

Solution

Things to double-check in your solution:

• Did you indicate the distinction between ints and Strings?
• Are your left/right branches correct?
