EC_NODE_FIND(3)

✨ EC_NODE_FIND ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to EC_NODE_FIND(3) from the Libecoli Programmer's Manual — this is the lil function that goes hunting through your grammar tree for one specific node, and honestly? it's giving search-and-rescue but make it cute 🎀

---

💖 NAME 💖

ec_node_find — Find a node from its identifier string.

like, you give it an id, it gives you the node. match made in heaven fr fr 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ecoli/node.h>

struct ec_node * ec_node_find(
    struct ec_node   *node,  /* The grammar tree. */
    const char       *id     /* The identifier to match. */
);

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

So here's the vibe: it browses the tree using pre-order depth traversal, and returns the first node that matches the given identifier. 🫶

Pre-order depth traversal, meaning it dives deep before it goes wide — first match wins, no cap. 💅

---

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

A node matching the identifier. that's it, that's the tea ✨
