( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Hmm. If the child refrences the parent, then we can't delete the parent until we remove the childs reference to it, or remove the child itself of course. So we have to do a postorder traversal of the implicit tree. A preorder traversal as you have here would try to delete the parent while the children point at it.

Im assuming that the OP was using using the only sane way I know of to represent an nary tree in a single table form, that is using a parent pointer list representation. Now these may have been asumptions too far but... :-)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
