People can only absorb so much information in a given period. When this capacity is reached, attendees begin to tune out and the effectiveness of the meeting starts to diminish because of the amount information the company wants to cram into a single day.

They're beneficial on their own.<br /><br />But the thing that seals the deal for me is simplicity. If you can agree that two child nodes is the simplest tree possible, then binary tree is a great introduction to the idea of trees and recursive data structures.Michael Duffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10095335205263095695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367023863906450017.post-53807894852689867882011-12-26T08:45:20.317-05:002011-12-26T08:45:20.317-05:00Hello,
