Algorithms

I need to manipulate a tree, similar to Windows Explorer. What kind of algorithms must I follow? Can you give me some names so I can google them?

If you mean you want a tree control in your GUI, look in the library of whatever language you are using. The tree control is pretty standard, you shouldn't have to write much of anything.

microsoft gives you a windows tree control.  You don't need no stinkin' algorithm!

I assume that wasa  joke, but if not... If only it were that easy! Assuming you have some kind of separation between your UI and your data you will probably want a tree or some other data structure to hold the data you display in the tree control. Otherwise, yeah, just attach the nodes' associated data directly to the tree.

You people with your fancy trees.  Back in my day we just had lists, and we liked it!

Hey, be nice to this guy. He attempted to ask nicely. He's not asking for answers, he's asking for pointers to help with his research.

Tree nodes have 1 and only 1 parent.
Tree nodes have 0..* siblings
Tree nodes have 0..* children
