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 infeus = 4.0;

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

infeus % 6 / 4 * 2

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:

int uer = 5;
int omtwian = 9;
boolean biscel = false;

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

uer <= 3 && omtwian == 0 && biscel

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?
