🌳 Recursive tree traversal in Python visually explained:
memory-graph.com#codeurl=http...

A binary tree can be traversed in three classic ways:
🔹 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿: current, left, right
🔹 𝗜𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿: left, current, right
🔹 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿: left, right, current

🌳 Trie demo: memory-graph.com#codeurl=http...

A trie is a tree-shaped data structure that can be implemented elegantly in Python using nested dictionaries (hash tables).

Tries are often used for:
- Autocomplete
- Prefix search
- Sequence matching

How does 𝗟𝗮𝘇𝘆 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 work in Python?

In this example: memory-graph.com#codeurl=http...
we show a sink reading from different sources, some eager some lazy, using the Iterator Protocol, where 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲_𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡 shows what's really going on.

❓️ Your functions work, but you want to add logging. Do you edit each function?

🎯 Decorators help: wrap a function, add logic before and after each call.

🔎 We use '@log_call' to log each call with arguments and return value: memory-graph.com#codeurl=http...

How do Python for-loops work?

Using the Iterator Protocol:

𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟 = 𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟(𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑟)
𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑒 𝑇𝑟𝑢𝑒:
..𝑡𝑟𝑦:
....𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 = 𝑛𝑒𝑥𝑡(𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟)
....𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑡(𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒)

Programming courses often focus heavily on understanding code, while paying far less attention to understanding the program state.

Package memory_graph: memory-graph.com#codeurl=http...
visualizes the state for easy program understanding and debugging.
