BY M. POULTONAVAGE.. IF YOU'V
E EVER BEEN CURIOUS ABOUT.HOW COMPUTERS
CAN BE USED TO GROW.TREES, THIS PROGRAM
WILL HELP YOU.UNDERSTAND. NOT JUST ANY
TREE, MIND.YOU, BUT BINARY TREES OR, AS
THEY ARE.COMMONLY CALLED, B-TREES...
YOU'VE PROBABLY PLAYED "TWENTY.QUESTIONS
" WHERE YOU CAN ALWAYS GUESS.THE ANSWER
IF YOU USE EFFECTIVE.QUESTIONS THAT RULE
OUT HALF OF THE.POSSIBLE ANSWERS EACH T
IME. THAT'S.WHAT A B-TREE DOES... TH
IS PROGRAM WILL ALLOW YOU TO.CREATE A B-
TREE AND SAVE IT TO DISK.IN A FILE CALLE
D "ANIMALS.DAT". YOU.SHOULD SAVE THE FI
LE EVERY TIME YOU.PLAY THE GAME... AN
IMALS HAS A MENU OF OPTIONS..THE FIRST T
IME YOU RUN THE PROGRAM.YOU WILL BE USIN
G THE DATA THAT IS.FOUND AT LINE 9000.
YOU MAY WANT TO.STUDY THESE STATEMENTS T
O FURTHER.UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON, B
UT IT.ISN'T REALLY NECESSARY SINCE YOU C
AN.ADD TO THE LIST OF ANIMALS WHILE.PLAY
ING THE GAME. SINCE THERE ISN'T.A FILE
CALLED "ANIMALS.DAT" ON THE.LOADSTAR DIS
K, DON'T CHOOSE 1, 'READ.THE FILE OF ANI
MALS' UNLESS YOU ENJOY.SEEING YOUR DRIVE
LIGHT BLINK.. FIRST, CHOOSE 5 AND 6
FROM THE.MENU TO SEE THE ANIMALS AND QUE
STIONS.ALREADY IN THE PROGRAM... THEN
CHOOSE 2 TO PLAY THE GAME..IT WILL ASK
IF THE ANIMAL YOU ARE.THINKING OF HAS WI
NGS. IF YOU SAY.'YES' BY PRESSING 'Y' I
T WILL SAY,."IS IT A DUCK?". TO ADD TO
THE.DATA-BASE, PRESS 'N' FOR 'NO' AND.YO
U'LL BE ASKED FOR YOUR ANIMAL..ENTER THE
NAME OF AN ANIMAL THAT HAS.WINGS AND TH
EN ENTER A QUESTION THAT.WILL DIFFERENTI
ATE BETWEEN A DUCK AND.THE ANIMAL YOU CH
OSE. THEN CHOOSE TO.PLAY AGAIN AND THIS
TIME YOUR ANIMAL.WILL BE IN THE B-TREE
AT A LATER.'NODE' THAN AT THE 'WINGS' BR
ANCH... THIS IS HOW YOU ADD TO THE.B-
TREE. REMEMBER TO SAVE YOUR.ENTRIES BEF
ORE YOU QUIT THE GAME SO.THAT NEXT TIME
YOU CAN LOAD THE FILE..IF YOU MAKE A MIS
TAKE AND SAY.THAT A SNAKE HAS SHORT FEAT
HERS YOU.CAN DELETE AN ANIMAL BY PRESSIN
G 3.FROM THE MENU... THIS GAME IS FUN
, ESPECIALLY FOR.YOUNGSTERS, BUT IT'S IN
STRUCTIVE TO.SEE HOW A BINARY TREE IS CO
NSTRUCTED..THE PROGRAM IS DIMENSIONED FO
R UP TO.999 ANIMALS SO YOU CAN GET PRETT
Y.DEEP INTO THE B-TREE BEFORE RUNNING.OU
T OF MEMORY. THE HARD PART WILL BE.TO D
ECIDE HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE.BETWEEN ANIMA
LS THAT ARE VERY.SIMILAR... THE B-TRE
E STRATEGY IS USED IN.ALL SORTS OF HUMAN
APPLICATIONS,.ESPECIALLY IN TROUBLE-SHO
OTING, WHERE.IT IS SOMETIMES CALLED 'SPL
ITTING THE.DIFFERENCE'... ONCE YOU IN
STINCTIVELY UNDERSTAND.THE B-TREE STRATE
GY, YOU'LL BECOME A.MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE
