I was really impressed with the solution! With what I've just learned from my prof in my algorithms analysis class just this afternoon, it's the efficiency of the algorithm that matters most, as there's always more than one solution, but there exists at least a solution that has a better worst case than the others. It makes me more interested to take up the course after all (just spare the needed mathematical proof in an academic course...) Anyway, further quarrels on this matter will make it even more esoteric than ever before - it might even take some sittings on a classroom to resolve it, or hit the data structures books if someone would say. SIGKILL this thread might be a better algo. Paolo Falcone __________________________________ www.edsamail.com _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
