Coding Component (50%)
We've provided you with an implementation of an unbalanced binary search tree. The tree implements an ordered dynamic set over a generic comparable type T. Supported operations include insertion, deletion, min, max, and testing whether a value is in the set (via the exists method). Because it's a set, duplicates are not allowed, and the insert operation will not insert a value if it is already present.
We have implemented the BST operations in a recursive style. For example, inserting a value into a tree recurses down the tree seeking the correct place to add a new leaf. Each recursive call returns the root of the subtree on which it was called, after making any modifications needed to the subtree to perform the insertion. Deletion is implemented similarly.
Your job is to add the functionality needed to keep the tree balanced using the AVL property. In particular, you will need to
· augment the tree to maintain the height of each of its subtrees, as discussed in Studio;
· compute the balance at the root of a subtree (which is the height of the root's left subtree minus that of its right subtree);
· implement the AVL rebalancing operation, along with the supporting rotation operations; and
· call the height maintenance and rebalancing operations at the appropriate times during insertion and deletion.
Code Outline
There are two main source code files you need to consider, both in the avl package:
· TreeNode.java implements a class TreeNode that represents a node of a binary search tree. It holds a value (the key of the node) along with child and parent pointers. It has a height data member that is currently not used for anything. You should not modify this file, but you need to understand its contents.
· AVLTree.java implements an ordered set as a binary search tree made out of TreeNode objects.
The AVLTree class provides an interface that includes element insertion and deletion, as well as an exists() method that tests whether a value is present in the set. It also offers min() and max() methods. These methods all work as given for (unbalanced) BSTs, using the algorithms we discussed in lecture.
To implement the AVL balancing method, you will need to fill in some missing code to maintain the height of each subtree and perform rebalancing. Look for the 'FIXME' tags in AVLTree.java to see which methods you must modify.
Height Maintenance
You'll need to set the height data member each time a new leaf is allocated in the tree. You can then maintain the height as part of insertion or deletion using the incremental updating strategy you worked out in Studio 10, Part C.
The update procedure updateHeight() takes in a node and updates its height using the heights of its two subtrees. It should run in constant time.
You'll need to call updateHeight() wherever it is needed – in insertion, deletion, and perhaps elsewhere.
Rebalancing
You must implement four methods as part of AVL rebalancing:
· getBalance() computes the balance fact.

insertion and deletion, as well as an exists() method that tests
whether a value is present in the set. It also
offers min() and max() methods. These methods all work as
given for (unbalanced) BSTs, using the algorithms we discussed

You must implement four methods as part of AVL rebalancing:

root. It should run in constant time using stored subtree height
information.
· rebalance() rebalances a tree whose balance factor is +2 or -2,
using rotations according to the AVL rebalancing algorithm.
· rightRotate() performs a right rotation on a subtree.
· leftRotate() performs a left rotation on a subtree.
In addition to implementing these methods, you will need to call
the rebalancing algorithm as needed during insertion and
deletion.
Tree-printing output
The codebase provides utility functions for printing binary trees
in the file avl/util/TreeToStrings.java . Many of the tests
provided in the codebase call these utility functions during
3. normal operation and/or error printing, some tests have print
calls commented out so you can add them during debugging,
and you are encouraged to call the functions in your own tests
as well. It is therefore to your great advantage to understand the
format in which these functions print a tree.
The most commonly-used print method in the test
code, formatVertically , prints a tree in prefix order (i.e. parent,
then left subtree, then right subtree). One node is printed per
line, with the depth of the node equivalent to the number of '|'
characters printed before it. For example, if the following
values are inserted into an empty BST in order:
2, 1, 3
…then formatVertically will print the following:
Root-2
| L-1
| R-3
As a slightly larger example, if the following values are inserted
into an empty BST in order:
7, 4, 10, 3, 5, 8, 17, 15, 20
…then formatVertically` will print the following:
Root-7
| L-4
| | L-3
| | R-5
| R-10
| | L-8
| | R-17
| | | L-15
| | | R-20

Unit tests
The following unit tests are provided in the avl.test package in
your repository:
1. TestSmall: contains a variety of tests for insertion and
4. deletion, some of which require no rebalancing and some of
which require rebalancing due to all four unbalanced AVL
cases. These tests should be a great help in debugging your
code, so it is to your advantage to be familiar with all of them
before debugging.
2. TestFull: tests full functionality on large trees. Some of trees
built by this test are quite large (100,000 elements or
more). These large tests may fail to finish in a reasonable
amount of time or may cause Java to crash with a stack
overflow (due to very deep recursion in insert or delete) unless
your tree is properly balanced.
3. TestCustom: Three empty function stubs that you can fill in
with your own tests as you see fit.
The autograder will run the tests in TestSmall.java and
TestFull.java as given to determine your coding grade
(TestSmall: 75% of coding credit, TestFull: 25% of coding
credit).
All tests should finish within a few seconds, and the autograder
will time out and record zero credit after 20 seconds.
As always, passing the unit test does not guarantee that your
code is correct – you are ultimately responsible for correctness
– but failing it does indicate that there is a problem you need to
fix.
If you want to check your understanding of how AVL trees
work or see what tree you should get for a small input, you
might find this AVL tree visualizer helpful.
What to Turn In (READ CAREFULLY)
To complete this portion of the lab, you must do the following:
1. Make sure you have not modified any files
besides AVLTree.java.
2. Make sure your code passes the JUnit tests as given in your
repository.
3. Make sure you eliminate or disable any print statements or
other extraneous code that you may have used for debugging.
Extraneous code may slow down your implementation to the
point that our autograder will fail it for taking too long to run.
5. 4. Make sure you do a Team/Pull on your repository before
attempting to push your code. Remember, pull before push!
5. You must both commit and push all of your code to your
repository AND submit it to Gradescope. It's best to commit
from the top-most level of your repository, which bears your
name and student ID. If you do not push your code to your
GitHub repository, Gradescope will not be using the latest
version of your code for testing.

Executive Summary
The aim of this report was to gather self-awareness about
myself which encompassed understanding of my strengths and
weaknesses based on various attributes. In addition, five
essential elements of self-awareness were explored briefly with
the behavioural features of each elements. Alongside, analysis
is made against the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) index
results and behavioural features are analysed. Also, some
significant motivating factors for myself, factors of emotional
intelligence and career aspects are explored. Finally, planning
and decision- making skills in relation to the theory of
Recognition Primed Decision (RPD) is made and discussed.
Lastly, background of the MBTI test results is mentioned in the
Appendixes.
1. Introduction
It is of huge significance for anyone to be aware of all their
attributes and personality, the norms and values they carry,
factors that motivate them, their emotional intelligence and
their behavioural skills. Being self-aware and based on the self-
management strategy in real life, these factors will help me
define my goals and achieve them. This assessment report is
broadly divided into two major part. The first part analyses five
essential components of being self-aware which will include
discussion on personality, values and motivators, emotional
16. intelligence, leadership and power and politics. The discussion
will be relating to my own self. Nevertheless, the analysis and
discussion made on the various mentioned components will be
presented in support by theories and tests including the Myers-
Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test. Followingly, the second part
will seek to highlight the decision making and planning skills
that I will utilise in making decisions on further career
development and achieving goals.
2. Self-Awareness
Smith, Farmer & Yellowley (2013) asserts self-awareness being
the understanding of your own qualities of motivation,
personality, emotions, strengths, weaknesses and other
behavioural traits. Nonetheless, having a clear reflection of
qualities and traits and being aware of those qualities signifies
in determining the career prospect and succeeding in achieving
goals. Five essential elements of self-awareness are highlighted
and discussed as following:
2.1 Personality
Smith et al. 2013 highlights personality as the collective and
measurable characteristics and attributes that shapes the
behaviour of an individual and his/her reaction and interaction
with people. Nevertheless, personality is considered as the
features of people that differentiates an individual from others
based on the behaviour, thoughts and emotions. Various theories
of personalities development such as the trait theories and the
type theories (Myers Briggs type).
3
After completing the MBTI test, I have gained an insight on my
personality of which the discussion has been made as following.
The completion of MBTI tests online of my behavioural traits
based on six career themes depicted the higher significant
career theme is ‘Doing and Implementing’ followed by the
second theme of ‘Thinking and Investigating’. The outcome is
established on the test questionnaire that was completed online
and the test can generalize my personality traits along with the
interest and skills that matches. The MBTI profiling for success
17. highlights that the doing and implementing group of people are
interested and challenged by works that includes certain degree
of physical endurance and risk. Nevertheless, it also highlights
that works having an adventurous component and a tangible
result are enjoyed by people with my attributes. Thus, positive
traits for me based on the assessment are hardworking,
proactive, athletic, independent and practical. Also, results
depict my personality traits are closer to openness and
agreeableness nature of traits of which openness highlights
characteristics such as creativity, insight, imagination and
curiosity. And agreeableness traits in me is highlighted as kind,
altruism and trust. The jobs suggested for me after the
assessment are architect, chef, electrician and sports coach.
In addition, ‘thinking and investigating’ is the second theme of
interest as charted by the MBTI assessment. It suggested that I
encompass an openness personality trait of which the people are
interested in investigating and locating issues of science
business and nature. Nonetheless, my personality personas of
investigator, intelligent, eye for detail, enthusiastic and
independent are highlighted by the profiling. Thus, the jobs
suggested are of similar in nature based on my traits that
includes engineer, health worker and a technician.
In general, with the assistance of MBTI test, I have been able to
gain insights of my own personality traits in detail, which is of
huge significance so as to follow a right career path. I am
moreover a ‘doing and implementing’ and ‘thinking and
investigating’ nature of person of which the personality traits I
possess are highlighted below:
challenging and innovative, enthusiastic, optimistic, proactive,
determined and dynamic.
2.2 Values and Motivators
Locke & Latham (2013) considers the qualities, standards and
principles of individuals that they embrace and consider in
higher regards. Nevertheless, such values and norms come from
peers, family, religion, culture and numerous other life events.
18. It is of huge significance that we understand and be self-aware
of the values that we encompass since it affects how we
maintain relationship and behave with peers, customers, guests,
employers and co-workers. In addition, the way we respond to
people reflects our personal norms, beliefs and values.
Similarly, I also have my norms and values which is shaped by
various life events including religion, family, friends, schooling
and so on. For me my most significant values are clear-
mindedness, flexibility, adaptability and sense of
accomplishment. I strongly believe these values will assist me
in fulfilling my career goal. Nonetheless, having a clear set of
goal, being flexible to work and people around
4
me, coping with various situations and adapting to new
environment and accomplishing short-term goals to meet long-
term goals to succeed in hospitality industry will be benefitted
by my values.
In addition, attitude is explained as the belief of anything for
which we describe it and a way of doing things (Locke &
Latham 2013). Nevertheless, it comprises of both positive and
negative aspect based on the fact that we can behave positively
or negatively about certain things. Connecting to my positive
attitude, optimism in every aspect, confidence to conclude tasks
assigned to me, openness to any challenge and learning and
friendliness with people around myself are my key ones.
Connecting to motivation, Miner (2005) explains motivation as
the process which boosts and stimulates an individual’s desire
and keeps him/her committed to a job or a goal. Thus,
motivators are stimulus that keeps one attained and targeted
towards a subject. Among the various theories of motivation, I
have been highly influenced by the Herzberg’s hygiene theory
which mentioned job ‘motivators’ as the job satisfiers and
‘hygiene’ as the dissatisfiers (Miner 2005). In addition, things
that motivates me and keep me attained in my goal are
highlighted below:
· ompetitive salary
19. ·
workplace
·
Mayer, Salovery & Caruso (2008) highlights emotions as the
conscious aspect of which feelings such as sorrow, joy, fear,
hate, anger and likes are experienced. And the ability of an
individual to identify, cope up and reflect upon to those
emotions is generalised as emotional intelligence. This differs
from person to person based to various behavioural traits,
psychological state and other factors including situation and
time and social activities. In addition, Mayer et al. (2008)
highlights emotional intelligence as the information processing
about emotions and relevant stimuli and to derive a thinking and
behaviour for the same. Since I am looking forward for a
rewarding career in hospitality industry, I need to work with
workmates from multicultural background and guests from
various nations. In addition, I need to maintain effective
relationship with all associates, guests, business partners and so
on. Thus, emotional intelligence is of highly significant aspect
since it assists in understanding emotions and reacting to it in
an effective manner. Based on the Mayer-Salovery-Caruso
model of emotional intelligence test (MSCEIT), four factors
describes an individual’s emotional intelligence:
a. Perceiving Emotion This deals with recognizing your
emotions and others as well. I am aware of my emotion and
personal attributes; thus, I first understand what the emotion is
of the other participant. Nevertheless, I try to control my
emotions and react effectively towards the situation.
b. Using emotion
5
This deals with reflecting upon the emotion or making cognitive
activities. Thus, generating moods to situation, empathizing and
influencing are done here. Nevertheless, this use of emotion can
be made in solving issues and decision making.
c. Understanding emotion
Understanding emotions is the capacity to relate to other’s
20. wants, ideas and feelings which is based on self-analysis and
may not be obvious. Connecting to myself, from the results of
MBTI test, I have the capacity to empathize which promotes
stereotyping and making prompt judgement of others. Thus, I
am very good in diplomatic and maintain effective relationships
with associates and people, which is rewarding in hospitality
industry because of the significance of host-customer
relationship and associate relationship.
d. Managing emotion
This deals with integrating your emotions to motivate others
and yourself. Also, the results from MBTI tests highlighted my
higher rated social skills, of which I am good in maintain
relationship with people and associates. This is highly
supported by the integration and management of emotions. In
addition, this also helps in communication development with
people and achieve targeted goals.
All in all, understanding of emotional intelligence fosters in
identifying emotions and integrating them for achieving career
advancement.
2.4 Leadership
Smith et al. (2013) asserts leadership being the process and
ability to influence and inspire vision, collaborating the
required skills and fostering engagement of people in better
ways to achieve a targeted goal. Thus, ability to do so can be
considered as the leadership skills which includes directing,
motivating, controlling and guiding the group of people towards
a goal. Nevertheless, a leader not only does guides and directs
people but often reflects the whole organization.
Proactive, honest, effective communicator, competent and
humble are some traits of a good leader. Also, the MBTI results
has depicted some qualities in me that falls on the category of a
leader, these traits are highlighted below:
a. Confidence:
I bear confidence in various tasks I perform and also feel
confidence to lead groups and associates towards an objective.
This might be the result of being aspired to become a successful
21. hotelier in future.
6
b. Empathy: I consider myself a friendly and a diplomat
person seeking effective solutions and growth in every aspect.
In addition, I prefer to look for solution to issues and appreciate
people for their good work. Thus, integrating other’s emotion
and beliefs are of my constant aspiration for good work.
c. Optimism: I have always been an optimistic person with
drive to succeed and make positive change in everyday work
and tasks. This is a very essential characteristic of a leader to
remain positive and to be the change and nevertheless to attain a
goal in a most effective way.
d. Futuristic: A leader shall be futuristic which deals with
being able to see through various situations towards a goal.
Planning and organizing are the essential aspects of a leader
which helps him/her to move ahead effectively and guide
people. Also, being futuristic is about having quality goal and
effective ways to analyse situations.
e. Persuasion: Charismatic theory of leadership classifies
leaders into two segments including transactional and
transformational leaders. Leaders guiding and motivating
associates to predetermined goals are the transactional leaders
whereas transformational leaders tend to influence associates to
enhance their self-interests. Based on my own evaluation, my
traits of morality, being ethical, supportive and appraising
nature, I reflect myself as a transformational leader who
motivates associates on their well-being and growth as well
2.5 Power and Politics
Furnham (2013) asserts power as an individual’s capability to
guide and influence others to act accordingly. Also, Kemelgor
(1976) highlights power as the ability to control behaviour or
other people. In addition, Kemelgor states that two parties are
present in the context of power where one influences and other
depends. Furthermore, two bases derive power that includes,
position power and personal power. Organizational sources
determine the position power and examples include process,
22. information, representative, rewards and legitimacy. Personal
power on the other hand is initiated from one’s individual
sources and includes expert, rational and referent power types.
Connecting to my case, having backed by hospitality education,
leadership skills and attitude can be my expert power. Being
able to make rational persuasion and control over others
behaviour can be my rational power. Nevertheless, A leader
shall influence and lead people towards an objective with the
use of right power effectively.
7
Kemelgor (1976) considers organization politics as the
procedure to achieve sanctioned needs with the use of non-
sanctioned means. Politics is inherent to the context of
organization of which the positive aspects of it embraces
formalizing authority, adapting change, maintain equality and
resource allocation. This will exactly form my base for
approach to politics. Associates regulation, working hours,
equality, resource allocations and overcoming adequacies in all
organizational aspects will be my major approach to politics.
All in all, creating an environment safe for associates to learn,
grow and succeed socially will be the target of my
organizational politics concern.
3. Decision Making and planning
Person with traits such as futuristic, optimism, proactiveness
are considered as a good planner and decision maker (Adair
2013). Also, traits of good decision making, and effective
planning defines success for any organization. In relation to all
this, various theories on decision making and planning are to be
considered while taking any major steps. In addition, I have
highlighted below some factors and strategies that I will
consider while planning and decision making.
Recognition Primed Decision (RPD) model derived by Gary
Klein, a psychologist, evaluates the first stage of decision
making as experiencing any situation. Thus, I will consider this
stage to understand what situation I am in and where I seek to
proceed in career. Secondly, analysing the situation with all
23. effect. In this stage I will evaluate its advantages and peripheral
aspects of the situation such as benefits, location opportunities
and threats. Nevertheless, the last stage is implementing the
decision and evaluation. Thus, in this stage I will select the best
possible way amongst all. And will conclude an evaluation in
different period to check the fruitfulness of its implementation.
In relation to planning, understanding resources, situation, and
its analysing as discussed by the RPD model is highly
significant since it explores all essential aspects of the course of
action. Nevertheless, selecting best preferred way or the best
course of action is planning’s ultimate goal. Nevertheless,
checking to see if planning is effective shall be done so as to
opt out any errors and planning failure.
Connecting to my short-term planning and decision making, I
am using RPD model to now diagnose and analyse all resources,
and desired hotels for internship. Followingly, I will select the
best hotel to apply for and learn for my internship purpose and
to move one step closer to career advancement.

4. Conclusion
All in all, self-awareness is of huge significance in real life for
which it acts as a self-management strategy. Nevertheless, five
essential elements of it are explored so as to learn one’s
strengths, opportunities and prospects. Personality, motivators,
leadership, power and politics are elements that helps an
individual to grow if they are utilised effectively in career
development. Connecting to my reflection, I am proactive,
understanding, honest and clear minded. Also, my emotional
abilities approach is to understand and control my emotions and
empathize. Nevertheless, I also have traits of inspiring people,
being futuristic and proactive which are essential characteristics
of a leader.
