Combine a list of numbers and they stitch themselves into a tree: each pair merges upward, generation by generation, until a single root stands. 2+3=5, 5+1=6, then 5+6=11 - the combined total climbs a real branch-and-merge ladder you can see.
Create a Number Tree turns a flat list into a branching diagram. Merge neighbours by sum to build a clean pyramid, or merge the smallest first for a compression-style Huffman tree. Up to 1000 lists per run, each drawn as a labelled text-art tree.
