AI Thread Summary
To determine if a binary tree is full, the algorithm should check that every node is either a leaf or has two children. This can be achieved through a recursive traversal of the tree. For each node, evaluate whether it is a leaf or has two children, and combine these results using a logical AND operation. This approach ensures that all nodes meet the criteria for the tree to be classified as full.

Hello! (Smile)

I want to write an algorithm, that checks if a binary tree is full or not.

Could you give me a hint how I could do this? (Thinking)

If every node is either a leaf, or has two children, then it's a full tree. So traverse the tree recursively, and for each node, compute the logical expression (IsLeaf OR HasTwoChildren), then AND all the results together.
 
Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
