Talk:Tree datastructures

Good idea for a task – a couple of thoughts.

This seems a promising kind of task – perhaps worth linking to the Functional Coverage Tree task, so that the latter can use outline parsing routines shaped up here.

A couple of thoughts:

1. Perhaps JSON-compatible formats, both for the nested and numbered data types ?
2. Unicode characters beyond the narrowly Anglo-Saxon alphabet ? Hout (talk) 23:09, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

The simplest JSON nest (each node a value+list pair) would be:

[["RosettaCode",[
    ["rocks",[
        ["code",[]],
        ["comparison",[]],
        ["wiki",[]]
    ]],
    ["mocks",[
        ["golfing",[]]
    ]]
]]]

Incidentally, do you feel strongly committed to that particular outline ? For some reason the word 'mock' jars a little (perhaps particularly now that we are beginning to understand more about the destructive potential of digital networks). Hout (talk) 23:43, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Similarly, the simplest JSON list of integer+value tuples would be:

[[0,"RosettaCode"],
 [1,"rocks"],
 [2,"code"],
 [2,"comparison"],
 [2,"wiki"],
 [1,"mocks"],
 [2,"golfing"]]
