From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]: | |
terpri /ter'pree/ vi. [from LISP 1.5 (and later, MacLISP)] To output a {newline}. Now rare as jargon, though still used as techspeak in Common LISP. It is a contraction of `TERminate PRInt line', named for the fact that, on some early OSes and hardware, no characters would be printed until a complete line was formed, so this operation terminated the line and emitted the output. | |

traversal Processing {nodes} in a {graph} one at a time, usually in some specified order. Traversal of a tree is {recursive}ly defined to mean visiting the {root node} and traversing its children. Visiting a node usually involves transforming it in some way or collecting data from it. In "pre-order traversal", a node is visited _before_ its children. In "post-order" traversal, a node is visited _after_ its children. The more rarely used "in-order" traversal is generally applicable only to binary trees, and is where you visit first a node's left child, then the node itself, and then its right child. For the binary tree: T / \ I S / \ D E A pre-order traversal visits the nodes in the order T I D E S. A post-order traversal visits them in the order D E I S T. An in-order traversal visits them in the order D I E T S. (2001-10-01) | |
