For most people "heaps" are synonymous with an array based heap ordered binary tree, commonly used as a priority queue. But the forest of heap ordered trees is rich in diversity, with variants including Leftist heaps, Fibonacci

There are a lot of ways to test if a string is contained within another string. Unfortunately, when it comes to searching in strings the algorithms are either incredibly complex and sensitive to implementation details (looking

Often times when designing or learning a new algorithm it is beneficial to have a visual representation of what is "going on inside" an algorithm. As with self balancing binary search tree's it is often helpful to know how the

Have you ever wanted to display a binary search tree while conveying its structural make up? Sure, with a combination of several traversals we can dedeuce the trees structure, but there must be a faster, easier way...

I've been covering some heavy topics lately with my Stack Machine & Compiler series, so I figured I would break things up with a light interlude on a topic that is both fascinating, easy to follow, and most of all fun: Cell
