Dear Answer Guy, In my computer science class today, my professor said something about "branch control." What is it and how does it apply to my class? -Inquisitive in Ishpeming

Dear Inquisitive, Branch control is a way of limiting the number of birds in any given tree. Complex bird/tree models have been produced that take advantage of these branch control theories. Some simple psuedocode might explain it:

if(tree.branch(branch_num) > 0) /* bird in branch */
{
	if(tree.branch(branch_num) > tree.branch_limit(branch_num))
	/* ^^^ Too many birds */
	{
		tree.remove_bird(branch_num)
	}
}

Notice the if inside of the if. This is necessary because the birds are "nested" in the branches. Nested birds are trickier to remove, being very reluctant to leave their habitat. Branch control is an exciting new field in the vast conglomerate of computer science. More and more people are looking for good branch control software, meaning higher pay rates for those that understand the technology. This first appeared in the now defunct website segfault.org
