Question
6. Haskell function show (show:: (BST a)) -> String) is defined by a Haskell deriving
Show clause and it operates as follows.
instance Show a => Show (BST a) where
show Nil = "Nil"
show (Node x Nil Nil) =
"Node " ++ (show x) ++ " Nil Nil"
show (Node x Nil right) =
"Node " ++ (show x) ++ " Nil (" ++ (show right) ++ ")"
show (Node x left Nil) =
"Node " ++ (show x) ++ " (" ++ (show left) ++ ") Nil"
show (Node x left right) =
"Node " ++ (show x) ++" ("
++ (show left) ++ ") (" ++ (show right) ++ ")"
(i) Explain the recursion of function show in general BST terms.
(ii) Assume that function show is applied to a BST of height 2 containing strings consisting of
single letters a, b, c, d, e, f, g inside its nodes (a BST respecting lexicographic ordering). Write
down the string constituting the outcome of its operation.
