Are all Nodes trees? Or are all Trees Nodes? In my opinion--and I'm usually right-- I think all Tree's are nodes, since a tree is a series of nodes connect through a path to a root, wouldn't that simply mean that all tree's are nodes? Week 7 was ALL NODES ALL CLASS, it took a couple minutes to actually realize that nodes were a part of trees, but once I've figured that out, it actually became a bit easier. Another big challenge I faced in class over the week was learning that a node wasn't treated like a Tree, even though both trees and nodes had a left and right child, trees don't necessarily access them, unlike a node. Nodes have present values for the left and right child- usually preset to None.
And if week 7 wasn't challenging enough with all the new information on nodes thrown at us, we were working on the new concepts of Nodes in our lab as well, and we awesome as my TA is at helping us, its still a tough concept to entirely understand it in just 2 classes and 1 lab. I know this is one of my shorter SLOGs but week 7 wasn't too long of a week for me to rant/reflect upon.
