extends Object
implements Accountable

Implementation of a Ternary Search Trie, a data structure for storing String objects that combines the compact size of a binary search tree with the speed of a digital search trie, and is therefore ideal for practical use in sorting and searching data.

This data structure is faster than hashing for many typical search problems, and supports a broader range of useful problems and operations. Ternary searches are faster than hashing and more powerful, too.

The theory of ternary search trees was described at a symposium in 1997 (see "Fast Algorithms for Sorting and Searching Strings," by J.L. Bentley and R. Sedgewick, Proceedings of the 8th Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, January 1997). Algorithms in C, Third Edition, by Robert Sedgewick (Addison-Wesley, 1998) provides yet another view of ternary search trees.
