Difference between decision table and decision tree
The following are the differences between a decision table and a decision tree.
Decision table | Decision tree | |
---|---|---|
Representation | Uses a tabular format with rows and columns. | Uses a graphical tree structure with nodes and branches. |
Complexity handling | More suitable for handling complex combinations of conditions and actions. | More visual and intuitive but can become complex with many decision points. |
Readability | Easier to read for complex scenarios with many conditions. | More visual and may be better for illustrating a simple sequence of decisions. |
Space efficiency |
More space-efficient when dealing with a large number of conditions and actions, as they use a compact tabular format. |
May become visually cluttered in such cases. |
