Name: TernaryTrees
Version: 0.2.0.0
Category: Data Structures
Synopsis: Efficient pure ternary tree Sets and Maps
Description: Ternary trees are an efficient structure often used for storing
strings for fast lookups. This package implements a generic tree
for storing lists of Ord instances, and a specialised String
implementation which is about 30% faster than the generic version.
.
An example program is provided what shows how to use the package
as a dictionary program for spell checking, and how it can be
used to serialise data with Don Stewart's Data.Binary package.
.
From my testing, using the \/usr\/share\/dict\/words file on my system
(over 230,000 words), inserting all words, checking they all exist
in the tree, writing them to a binary file, reading them back in
and checking the read in result is the same as the original takes
slightly over 3 seconds using the StringSet. The written file is
also slightly smaller than the input (by over 40% in some cases).
.
New in this version:
.
* Added a StringMap type, which should be more efficient than using TernaryMap String a
