Remove method fails for single / root key
See this http://play.golang.org/p/of8h4uJ5jR
After calling Remove, the trie still finds the key.
It seems if you only have one key, the remove fails.
Good catch, I'll push a fix up soon.
I slightly modified the code with else , which seems to solve this micro bug
func (t *Trie) Remove(key string) {
var (
i int
rs = []rune(key)
node = t.nodeAtPath(key)
)
t.size--
for n := node.Parent(); n != nil; n = n.Parent() {
// fmt.Printf("%T \n", n)
i++
if len(n.Children()) > 1 {
r := rs[len(rs)-i]
n.RemoveChild(r)
break
} else {
if t.root != nil {
t.root = &Node{}
}
}
}
}
I think I'd change the above to something like:
if n == t.root {
t.root = &Node{}
}
if len(....) {
...
If you wouldn't mind putting together a PR and adding a test to catch the bug I'd definitely pull it in.
func (t *Trie) Remove(key string) {
var (
i int
rs = []rune(key)
node = findNode(t.Root(), []rune(key))
)
t.size--
for n := node.Parent(); n != nil; n = n.Parent() {
i++
if len(n.Children()) > 1 {
r := rs[len(rs)-i]
n.RemoveChild(r)
break
}
}
}
this will core dump when node is nil(key that isn't exist will crash)
Derek -- I will put a PR together for this 1 - Remove panics if key doesn't exist 2 - Remove doesn't work on root key Do you want me to change the method signature to return bool ?
