AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the use of UML (Unified Modeling Language) and specifically the representation of use case diagrams. A user expresses concern about stating that a function will only be used in extraordinary situations within their use case diagram. The response critiques this approach, suggesting that it is not an appropriate way to represent functionality, as it introduces conditional logic that complicates the diagram. It is also noted that the role of the Branch Manager may not qualify as an actor in this context, as merely informing an actor does not constitute an interaction with the system. The conversation emphasizes the importance of clarity and proper representation in UML diagrams.

I do not think that is the right way to represent it.

An "if" == a branch.

I think you can leave off the right branch, since/if nothing happens.

Also, I'm not sure if Branch Manager is an Actor here (i.e. a stick figure). Actors interact with the system. Simply informing an actor is not an interaction.

Thread 'Learning data structures and algorithms in different programming languages'

I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
