Hi Siddharth,

I'm happy to take a look over your code, but you haven't asked a
question specific enough for me to answer.  If you are looking to
understand dual-tree algorithms and the concepts behind them, you might
start with this paper:

http://ratml.org/pub/pdf/2013tree.pdf

and then consult the references therein.

Thanks,

Ryan
