I am going to refactor the tree code a bit to make it easier to work with.
10:17
Thinking about it, if I keep a list of nodes in the tree I would not need parent links. Iteration would then just be through the sorted list of nodes. Of course I would need to maintain value links. That would probably simplify a few things.
10:19
Even if values are rotated the nodes should still be in the same order for the most part.
10:21
At least in the sample code the keys and values are re-assigned only on deletion. I would really just need to handle linked order on insertion and deletion, but it would work either way.
10:22
So a linked list would be the most efficient means of doing iteration because re-associating parents especially with rotations and moving around is complex and probably is not even needed.
11:28
Although the problem with that is if the node keys and values are removed then
the order of the entries gets modified. Since keys and values can be swapped
in nodes, this means that I need more classes. One acts as nodes in the tree
which point to values in the value set. Then the SortedTreeSet can use these
value nodes directly in a way when iterating, rather than using the entry set
of the map and creating useless entries. So this makes the Set variant more
optimized.
14:02
For some reason the node with the lower value is on the right side of the tree and the one with the higher value is on the left.
14:10
And that is caused by using the wrong order of arguments on insertion.
16:37
So this new tree code is far simpler and was easier to implement.
17:25
So one thing is that the input state has a code variable a given state but the input is not valid. So I suppose what I must do is check the output state.
17:26
But the output state is trashed. So I suppose what I need is a virtualized double-start of an instruction. Basically a state forwarding barrier of sorts where I can copy from the input state to the output state in a kind of transition mode.
17:31
So I am going to need a transition mark for the input state.
