Cocaine Cowgirl, O Holy Night, and I Don’t want to miss a Thing are progressing nicely.


Book List: Precalculus - It has been seven years since I have done math, so I will start with this. Calculus Made Easy Applied Cryptography PostgreSQL - Finish few remaining chapters Data Structures and Problem Solving Using Java Programming Linux Games Bookkeeping and Accounting Nemsis

Guitar: 10 new songs that I will be learning are: Everlong - foo fighters Cocaine Cowgirls - Matt Mays I don’t want to miss a thing - aerosmith 1979 - smashing pumpkins (I do believe I used to know this one) Killer in me - smashing pumpkins Heart of Gold - Neil Young O Holy Night …..


I am reading through a chapter on binary trees. The first simple example they give is traversing through directory structures. As the book is for java the attached file is the example translated to c#.

Once I have finished the chapter I will upload the binary tree example translated to c#.

Here is an example postorder recursion through a directory tree (attachment main.cs). See attachment Main.cs for a different example.

using System.IO;

class RecurseDirectory
{
	public static void Main(string[] args)
	{
		RecurseDirectory r = new RecurseDirectory();
		RecurseDirectory.PrintDirsRecursively(new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(@"\\Directory\Location"), 0);

		Console.Read();
	}
	
	
	public static void PrintDirsRecursively(System.IO.DirectoryInfo source, int depth) 
	{
		foreach (System.IO.DirectoryInfo dir in source.GetDirectories())
		{
			PrintTabs(depth);
			System.Console.WriteLine(source.FullName);
			PrintDirsRecursively(dir, depth+1);
		}
		foreach (System.IO.FileInfo file in source.GetFiles())
		{
			PrintTabs(depth);
			System.Console.WriteLine(file.FullName);
		}
	}


	private static void PrintTabs(int depth)
	{
		for (int j=0; j < depth; j++)
		{
			System.Console.Write("\t");
		}
	}
}

Here is a simple recursive directory/file copy function.

using System.IO;

public static void CopyFilesRecursively(DirectoryInfo source, DirectoryInfo target) 
{
    foreach (DirectoryInfo dir in source.GetDirectories())
    {
        CopyFilesRecursively(dir, target.CreateSubdirectory(dir.Name));
    }
    foreach (FileInfo file in source.GetFiles())
    {
        file.CopyTo(Path.Combine(target.FullName, file.Name), true); //overwrite
    }
}

I am rereading some chapters in “Data Structures & Problem Solving Using Java”. I just finished reading chapter 17 on linked lists. Here is the singly linked list and sorted linked list from this chapter done in c#.

LinkedList - the list itself SortedLinkedList - the sorted linked list ListNode - represents the node LinkedListIterator - represents the position

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace LinkedLists
{
	public class ListNode<T>
	{
		private T elem;
		private ListNode<T> nextNode;

		}
		
		public ListNode<T> Next
		{
			get {return nextNode;}
			set {nextNode = value;}
		}
		
		public ListNode(T theElement) : 
			this(theElement, null)
		{

			elem = theElement; nextNode = n;
		}
		
		
	}
	
	public class LinkedListIterator<T>
	{
