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 cening = 3.0;
int veusal = 2;
int jard = 3;

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

0 + cening * 6 * veusal + jard + 1

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 peor = 9;
double gaimmip = 1.0;
double tenceb = 3.0;
double surki = 2.0;
int hien = 8;

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

peor != gaimmip != ((tenceb == 4) != (surki != 8)) && hien >= 8 || 0 != 2

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) + 5 + 6

Solution

Things to double-check in your solution:

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