module Merger_Trees
  private
  public :: mergerTree

  type mergerTree
   contains

contains

  function Tree_Node_Get(thisTree,nodeIndex) result(foundNode)
    implicit none
    class(mergerTree), intent(inout) :: thisTree
    integer,           intent(in)    :: nodeIndex
    integer,           pointer       :: foundNode

    return
  end function Tree_Node_Get

end module Merger_Trees
