Std.Tree.height

1 declaration

fn

height: &Std.Tree.Tree[T] -> Int

This is a callable function.

What it does

How many nodes lie on the longest path from the root, the root included.

A leaf is 1 rather than 0, so height counts nodes exactly as size does and

the two never disagree about whether the root is one of them.

  • The text after the name is the type checked by Pudu.
  • Read arrows from left to right: inputs come first, and the final type is returned.
  • & borrows a value for this call instead of moving or copying it.
  • Names inside [ ] are type arguments, such as the item type held by a collection.
