!!!HELP!!! Binary Tree final problem
The Problem
You are part of a company writing a spreadsheet program. As you know, spreadsheets can be sorted on any column. You're part of the project is to write one binary tree function to sort the data [Hint: use different fields when inserting nodes in the tree.] and a second function to list it in either an ascending or descending sequence. [Note: Each of these functions may actually need to be a set of related functions.]
For sample data you will have a disk file containing information about Shakespeare's plays. Your first function should create a tree based on the sort selected by the user and the second function to display the data in the sequence selected by the user. Regardless of the column being sorted, data in individual records always be displayed in the same line of the output.
Input
Each record will contain the following information:
| First Performed |
9 characters |
| Printed |
5 characters |
| Title |
26 characters |
| Type |
7 characters |
Tabular output should be aligned in columns with two spaces between each. All columns should have headings. It should be sorted on the column specified by the user.
