Binary search trees are not that hard to understand! I've been sitting in class and for the last half hour people have been asking stupid questions like "Why doesn't the number go on the other side of the tree?"

Ugh... stupid people. I hope you fail.

Wait until you get to red-black trees. They always seem to flummox the masses.
The worst thing about algorithms is that the algorithms are GIVEN TO YOU! RIGHT IN THE BOOK! All you have to do to implement them is convert their psuedocode to your language of choice. It's so freakin easy.

Some of the rules and definitions for different kinds of trees are arbitrarily counter-intuitive. However, that doesn't mitigate the fact that people are dumb.

Wait until you start getting to superfluous honey comb scans and redwood type casting. Not to mention evergreen vertical searching and cedar clumps.

Yes, I asked a question abour Reverse Polish Notation. Note that I only asked one question, and did not repeat the same question half a dozen times, and force the same answer to be repeated to 40 other people besides myself those half dozen times.

Hopefully they didn't have problems with sequential searchs... if they did, they are in real trouble. :)
