How do I choose between graphs and trees for my project?

It depends on the structure of your data and the relationships you want to represent. Can you tell me more about your project?

I'm working on a social network analysis. Should I use a graph or a tree?

For social networks, a graph is usually more appropriate since it can represent complex relationships and connections.

What if I need to represent a hierarchy, like an organization chart?

In that case, a tree would be ideal as it clearly shows parent-child relationships in a hierarchical structure.

Are there any performance considerations I should keep in mind?

Yes, trees generally have faster search times due to their hierarchical nature, while graphs can be more flexible but may require more complex algorithms.
