Header-only Burkhard-Keller tree implementation in C++, with different metrics and a few useful interfaces supported. Documentation can be found here.
#include "bktree.hpp"
#include <iostream>
int main() {
using metric_t = bk_tree::metrics::DamerauLevenshteinDistance;
using tree_t = bk_tree::BKTree<metric_t>;
// π Initializer list syntax
tree_t temp{"tall", "tell", "teel"};
temp.insert("feel");
tree_t tree(temp);
// π Loop like a STL container (e.g. range-based)
for (auto const &node : tree) {
std::cout << *node << ' '; // tall tell teel feel
std::cout << node->word() << ' '; // tall tell teel feel
}
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "Tree size: " << tree.size() << std::endl; // Tree size: 4
// π Find all possible results
auto result = tree.find("tale", 1);
for (auto &p : result) {
std::cout << p.first << " " << p.second << std::endl; // tall 1
}
// π Erase a node by word
tree.erase("tall");
result = tree.find("tale", 1);
std::cout << result.size() << std::endl; // 0
