You can find the entire project containing a funky demo program here: https://github.com/coderodde/BinaryTreePrinter



Using it, you may get something like:

    I think I would put the boxes (like the 1000 box) in the center of the line.

  • @RobAu That's a good one.

  • For an ordered tree it is actually nicer the way it is now since all numbers are sorted left to right. Then again centered would look great as well (I think) so it thumbed up Rob's comment :)

You can find the entire project containing a funky demo program here: https://github.com/coderodde/BinaryTreePrinter



Using it, you may get something like:

    I think I would put the boxes (like the 1000 box) in the center of the line.

  • For an ordered tree it is actually nicer the way it is now since all numbers are sorted left to right. Then again centered would look great as well (I think) so it thumbed up Rob's comment :)

You can find the entire project containing a funky demo program here: https://github.com/coderodde/BinaryTreePrinter



Using it, you may get something like:

  • For an ordered tree it is actually nicer the way it is now since all numbers are sorted left to right. Then again centered would look great as well (I think) so it thumbed up Rob's comment :)

Basically, I would say - installing SonarQube project and running it agains your code to see violations.
Generally - long methods. Probably they do more than one thing.
return "null", separate string and numbers could be "static final String NULL".



private int checkPaddingTop(int padding) {
return checkPadding(padding, "Top padding is invalid");
}

private int checkPaddingRight(int padding) {
return checkPadding(padding, "Right padding is invalid");
}

private int checkPaddingBottom(int padding) {
return checkPadding(padding, "Bottom padding is invalid");
}

private int checkPaddingLeft(int padding) {
return checkPadding(padding, "Left padding is invalid");
}


Seems like copy/paste code - could use use enum for Bottom/Left/Right/Top and use as input argument and have same code?



private SubtreeDescriptor printImpl(BinaryTreeNode<T> node, 
BinaryTreeNodePrinter<T> nodePrinter) {
if (node.getLeftChild() == null && node.getRightChild() == null) {
TextSprite leafNodeTextSprite = nodePrinter.print(node);
SubtreeDescriptor subtreeDescriptor = new SubtreeDescriptor();
subtreeDescriptor.rootNodeOffset = 0;
subtreeDescriptor.rootNodeWidth = leafNodeTextSprite.getWidth();
subtreeDescriptor.textSprite = leafNodeTextSprite;
return subtreeDescriptor;
}


constructing and initializing should be done probably in some factory class. Not in method named print.



Well and unit testing. When you try to unit test different scenarios for your code to make sure it works as expected - you will see how unit tests shape your code design. Its very hard to unit test method that does 20 things, so you will step by step refactor it to have one thing done and test its different cases/outcomes.

    Basically, I would say - installing SonarQube project and running it agains your code to see violations.
    Generally - long methods. Probably they do more than one thing.
    return "null", separate string and numbers could be "static final String NULL".



    private int checkPaddingTop(int padding) {
    return checkPadding(padding, "Top padding is invalid");
    }

    private int checkPaddingRight(int padding) {
    return checkPadding(padding, "Right padding is invalid");
    }

    private int checkPaddingBottom(int padding) {
    return checkPadding(padding, "Bottom padding is invalid");
    }

    private int checkPaddingLeft(int padding) {
    return checkPadding(padding, "Left padding is invalid");
    }


    Seems like copy/paste code - could use use enum for Bottom/Left/Right/Top and use as input argument and have same code?



    private SubtreeDescriptor printImpl(BinaryTreeNode<T> node, 
    BinaryTreeNodePrinter<T> nodePrinter) {
    if (node.getLeftChild() == null && node.getRightChild() == null) {
    TextSprite leafNodeTextSprite = nodePrinter.print(node);
    SubtreeDescriptor subtreeDescriptor = new SubtreeDescriptor();
    subtreeDescriptor.rootNodeOffset = 0;
    subtreeDescriptor.rootNodeWidth = leafNodeTextSprite.getWidth();
    subtreeDescriptor.textSprite = leafNodeTextSprite;
    return subtreeDescriptor;
    }


    constructing and initializing should be done probably in some factory class. Not in method named print.



    Well and unit testing. When you try to unit test different scenarios for your code to make sure it works as expected - you will see how unit tests shape your code design. Its very hard to unit test method that does 20 things, so you will step by step refactor it to have one thing done and test its different cases/outcomes.
