+  "yes, as the above tests show, they add elements into the list in the same order
+   and hence produce same lists."

+
+;;;; part b
+(comment
+  "tree->list-1 does a cons and an append of two lists at every step. The depth of the
+   tree is log(n). append grows as length of the list. The number of steps required to
+   traverse down to the tree is log(n). So, this is a O(n.log(n)) operation."
+
+  "list->tree-2 does only a cons operation at every step. So this is a O(n) operation."
