Yeah it appears to be a hybrid Trie implementation. Which I personally find extremely amusing. The primary drawback with using Trie's is that they are typically terribly wasteful of memory. (Except if the data set is extremely dense.) Which is why it turns out that most times Tries are implemented they are implemented in a hybrid form, or are designed to work on a limited data set or both. OTOH one advantage of a pure Trie lookup is that a C implementation of the algorithm performs similarly or better than a hash lookup but does prefix matching as well.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
