Body
I have a question regarding this code piece. <code>Node* &head</code>, in insert() function, I have hard time understanding meaning of it. Is this "the reference of a pointer poniting to Node structure" ? But why in here <code>getDepth(Node *head)</code> he uses <code>Node *head</code> ? Is this a good practice? what's the better way to write it if possible? Thank you! <pre><code>#include <iostream> #include <cstring> #include <cmath> using namespace std; const int maxn = 100; struct Node{ int key; Node *lchild, *rchild, *parent; }; Node *head, *p, node[maxn]; int cnt; void init(){ head = p = NULL; memset(node, '\0', sizeof(node)); cnt = 0; } void insert(Node* &head, int x){ if(head == NULL){ node[cnt].key = x; node[cnt].parent = p; head = &node[cnt++]; return; } p = head; if(x < head->key) insert(head->lchild, x); else insert(head->rchild, x); } int d = 0, num = 0, dep[maxn]; void getDepth(Node *head){ if(head == NULL) return; ++d; getDepth(head->lchild); if(head->lchild == NULL && head->rchild == NULL) dep[num++] = d; getDepth(head->rchild); --d; } bool isBalance(Node *head){ if(head == NULL) return true; getDepth(head); int max = dep[0], min = dep[0]; for(int i=0; i<num; ++i){ if(dep[i]>max) max = dep[i]; if(dep[i]<min) min = dep[i]; } if(max-min > 1) return false; else return true; } int main(){ init(); int a[] = { 5, 3, 8, 1, 4, 7, 10, 2, 6, 9, 11, 12 }; for(int i=0; i<12; ++i) insert(head, a[i]); cout<<isBalance(head)<<endl; return 0; } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
