    Sam,



    What definition of sort makes this correct (and the poster you replied to incorrect) and what is your justification for the definition? Specifically, why does your definition vary from...

    Also, Sam, I should point out that my main issue here is simply that:

    Building a binary/AVL tree == Sorting an unsorted array == O(n log n)

    So the act of arranging the items in a logical order...

    If you consider it so insignificant, why are you taking the trouble to post it to a new thread?

    And my point was that a 'separate sort' and 'building a sorted list' are algorithmically and functionally equivalent. Both perform a sort operation.

    So it's correct to say that data can not be...

    To sort - to arrange; to put into a specific order or relation.

    You disagree on this definition? Why impede communication with your peers by making up your own definition of words? That's awfully...

    I disagree. Data must be explicitly sorted to be displayed in a conceptual 'order'.

    Inserting a group of items into a binary tree explicitly sorts the items.

    The sort is just distributed over n...

    Oh, of course nobody wants this to turn into a 'witch-hunt,' as you so eloquently put it. There's nothing to hunt - it's completely obvious you were being a doofus.

    My two cents: I used to do this, but now I generally don't like to do this, because it breaks the RAII idiom that I've grown so fond of. Not only that, but it's almost always unneccesary.

    Not neccessarily true.

    Dereferencing pa2 will naturally fail, but:

    delete pA2;

    Just to beat the dead horse,

    (111111111 % 65536) = 27591
