--=====================_977320304==_ I ran Tree.ex and found the time reported exceeded what I expected. This is because Tree.ex records time taken to *enter* the data at the console as well. I've amended the program to print out where the timing was *actually* starting and made corrections. Specifically, a global variable 'g_total_time' now holds the time and only insertions into the tree are timed. These are just quick corrections. Please see the attachment. Comments? Thanks again to Ray Smith who answered my question on ADTs and referred me to Tree.ex --=====================_977320304==_ -- Count frequencies of words in standard input. -- Uses a binary tree to speed lookups and write -- an alphabetic listing to standard output. -- usage: -- ex tree < file1 -- -- You can direct standard output to a file with '>' -- How it Works: -- * tree.ex reads in words from a text file and inserts them -- alphabetically into a Euphoria sequence that is being used -- as a "tree".
