Message-ID: <3D21D581.6EF6CB06@despammed.com> (raw)
Anyone know anything about a sorting algorithm
that includes the ability to infer the answer
to a comparison from comparisons already done?
The reason I'm asking is that I have a situation
where deciding the order of two items is very slow.
If the program determines that A < B and later
determines that B < C and stores this information,
then if and when A ? C comes up, it can determine
the answer from the stored information.
I have ideas for two ways to do this, but
if it's already been done.....
I know this is not the best newsgroup for the topic,
and I will ask elsewhere, but if I find an Ada solution,
it's that much better.
