/*
    This program demonstrates a few routines for processing binary
    sort trees.  It uses a binary sort tree of strings.  The user
    types in strings.  The user's string is converted to lower case, and --
    if it is not already in the tree -- it is inserted into the tree.
    Then the number of nodes in the tree and a list of items in the tree
    are output.  The program ends when the user enters an empty string.

一件事不明白,为什么这个函数“ void treeInsert(TreeNodePtr&root,string newItem);”在TreeNodePtr之后有“&”标记?其他人不...困惑!

感谢您的帮助!

最佳答案

根指针为passed by reference,因为在树为空的情况下其值可以更改。
