Abstract

This paper considers the problem of searching for strings in a dictionary or symbol table. It presents a data structure which can be used for this purpose---the Ternary Tree. It considers the theoretical properties of this structure, compared with other possible structures for the same purpose. It presents an implementation of this structure in APL, including code to do a variety of operations on it.
