Hi Folks,
Dimitre has created a beautiful set of functions for building binary trees
[1].
I understand that binary trees can be used to sort data. But XSLT already has
<xsl:sort>, so using binary trees for sorting isn't a particularly compelling
use case.
I am seeking a compelling use case for binary trees -- given XML document
foo.xml and processing requirement P, a binary tree is ideally suited.
Would you provide a simple, compelling use case please?
