Leaf-nodes are extended automatically by setting their length to "infinity", which for practical purposes, can be INT_MAX in C (2147483647). These highly-related disciplines . Most SAS programming probably gets done by writing SAS macros. Addendum: So as to not mis-represent the class or my opinion, I want to clarify the above paragraph with the following: I'm not arguing that one shouldn't be implementing the algorithms that he learns in such a class. Look at Bob Muenchen's book (or this article) for practical examples of R functions to replace SAS macros. The remaining sections describe the various components of the algorithm: the phases, extensions, finding the suffix of the previous phase, suffix links, skipping extensions and completing the tree. I am absolutely not arguing that programming, software engineering, testing, quantitation and other practical tasks or related fields are not every bit as important as Computer Science. This covers classic algorithms in text compression, string searching, computational biology, high-dimensional geometry, linear versus integer programming, cryptography, and others. Perhaps a dynamic programming “knapsack problem”, or “drunken walk”? The discussion is backed up by working C code that includes a test suite .. Any fun algorithm practice problems you've found?
