The Second Test - Impressions of Week 9

Despite the strike, we continued on with our second test on the semester, which focused mostly on Trees and Binary Trees. All in all, I didn't find the test too challenging -- as long as you keep up with class work and don't fall behind, you should be good! LinkedLists threw me for a bit of a loop, but as I said last week - draw, draw, draw!

As for the other activities of the week, we focused on a short lab on Binary Search Trees, or BSTs. When initially reading the question, I thought it was a lot more difficult than it was -- I thought they wanted us to include an insert method with property, but it turns out there was already an insert method like that in the starter code.

Binary Search Trees and property -- this is the one thing I forgot on the test, which I kicked myself for later. Property refers to the idea that all the lesser data goes to the left of the node, and the greater data goes to the right. The picture below demonstrates this.

All in all, not too much new news for week 9 -- whenever you have a test, that tends to take up most of your focus. I am looking forward to starting assignment 3 though!
