I agree with you civilian and i like the sinonym poobah used. But i have to say sth, i think that if you`re given a map and you have to find the shortest path between to points you have to use graphs and not trees, it`s true that trees are some sort of graphs but they are not very useful for solving that kind of problem.

 

[Poobah]

I think 'analogy' would be the more appropriate term to use.

But i have to say sth, i think that if you`re given a map and you have to find the shortest path between to points you have to use graphs and not trees, it`s true that trees are some sort of graphs but they are not very useful for solving that kind of problem.

I don't know much about path-finding, but wasn't he talking about trees as in linked lists and not graphing things on pen and paper? We are talking about programming here. (Maybe I'm just too ignorant to understand what you're saying.)

well poobah i see that you know english very well. As i can see you understood what i meant very vell. Well just for you to know(and i don`t think you are ignorant) graphs are very much used and can be applied in some programming problems where nothing or almost nothing can save you.
