 Truth be told, the simplest tree is merely a list- the underlying data structure we've worked with all semester. But now, under this new light, we can start to look at a list as merely a procession of singled childed nodes. The more things are different, the more they are the same... Truth be told, the simplest tree is merely a list- the underlying data structure we've worked with all semester.

-The premise behind a tree is that of a parent-child relationship. Each node can be a parent (of up to two child nodes), and each child can in turn be its own parent (of up to two child nodes). This creates a connection between relationships of nodes (ie a parent and its descendants), and ends up offering some interesting and useful algorithmic opportunities, along with implementation experience. +

 It is common to think of a tree as a vertical structure, upside-down from the item we commonly think of in nature.

-As we will be placing nodes in the tree according to their stored values (lesser values go to the left, or prior; greater values go to the right, or after), our tree will naturally sort our data for us. As such, the tree we will be implementing will also be a //sorted binary tree//. +As we will be placing nodes in the tree according to their stored values (lesser values go to the left, or prior; greater values go to the right, or after), our tree will naturally sort our data for us, allowing us to search through its contents quite advantageously. As such, the tree we will be implementing is also known as a //binary search tree//.

Isn't it neat how we've been able to use this same basic structure in so many different ways and configurations? That speaks to what we're exploring in Data Structures- ideas. It isn't as much about WHAT we're manipulating (nodes), but HOW.

-Of particular focus in this project, in addition to the important tree concepts, is that of implementation. Until now we've only bothered to just get it done and working... now, not only do we care about functionality, but we look more closely at how we got there (ie the three different implementation approaches). +===Suggested Implementation Order=== 
-====Reference Implementation==== +To make your life easier, I recommend implementing tree library functions in the following order:
-As the layers and complexities rise, narrowing down the source of errors becomes increasingly important. +
- +
-If your tree copytree_i() isn't working, is it because of a problem with your tree? Or might it be in an underlying node operation it relies upon? +
- +
-To aid you in your development efforts, you now have the ability to import functioning node, list, and stack implementations into your project for the purposes of testing your tree functionality. +
- +
-This also provides another opportunity for those who have fallen behind to stay current, as they can work on this project without having needed to successfully get full node or stack (and by extension- list) functionality. +
- +
-===Using the test reference implementation=== +
-You'll notice that, upon running **make help** in the base-level Makefile, the following new options appear (about halfway in the middle): +
- +
-<cli> +
-**                                                                    ** +
-** make use-test-reference  - use working implementation object files ** +
-** make use-your-own-code   - use your node/list implementation code  ** +
-**                                                                    ** +
-</cli> +
- +
-In order to make use of it, you'll need to run **make use-test-reference** from the base of your **dlt0** project directory, as follows: +
- +
-<cli> +
-lab46:~/src/data/dlt0$ make use-test-reference +
-... +
-NODE, LIST, and STACK reference implementation in place, run 'make' to build everything. +
-lab46:~/src/data/dlt0$  +
-</cli> +
- +
-You'll see that final message indicating everything is in place (it automatically runs a **make clean** for you), and then you can go ahead and build everything with it: +
- +
-<cli> +
-lab46:~/src/data/dlt0$ make +
-... +
-</cli> +
- +
-**__Debugging__:** When using the test reference implementation, you will not be able to debug the contents of the node, list, and stack functions (the files provided do not have debugging symbols added), so you'll need to take care not to step into these functions (it would be just like stepping into **printf()**. You can still compile the project with debugging support and debug (as usual) those compiled functions (ie the stack functions).+
  
-===Reverting back to using your code=== +  - **mktree()** 
-If you were trying out the reference implementation to verify tree functionality, and wanted to revert back to your own code, it is as simple as:+  - **addnode()** 
 +  - **searchtree()** 
 +  - **traverse_r()** 
 +  - **grabnode_r()** 
 +  - **cptree_r()** 
 +  - **rmtree()**
  
-<cli> +You will really want the later functions to make use of the earlier functions to facilitate implementation (ie **cptree_r()** will likely want to make use of **traverse_r()** and **addnode()**, and **rmtree()** could take advantage of **traverse_r()** and **searchtree()** and **grabnode_r()**).
-lab46:~/src/data/dlt0$ make use-your-own-code +
-Local node/list/stack implementation restored, run 'make clean; make' to build everything. +
-lab46:~/src/data/dlt0$  +
-</cli> +
-====Node Library unit tests==== +
-As a result of the addition of **other**, an updated set of unit tests will be released (this will mean a different number of total tests for list than previously).+
  
-Be sure to run the various node unit tests and verification scripts to see which functions have fallen out of compliance with the node struct specification changes issued in this project. The **verify-node.sh** script can be especially useful in getting a big picture view of what work is needed.+Note that **grabnode_r()** can be implemented earlier, as it only really needs **mktree()**, but you may find its implementation more involved.
