Thirty seconds over Ternary Search tree

Wow! It’s been another week from the time when I wrote the previous article about grokking algorithms. The time is passing so fast I barely can see it! Today I want to introduce a new concept to you - Ternary Search Tree (aka TST). You may already have heard about Binary Search Tree (aka BST) and this idea is pretty similar.

Blur, blur, and one more time blur

Did you ever think what is blur exactly? Generally, the blur means something unclear or something that is hard to see. We can see blur (as an effect) everywhere: you can see the similar effect looking through frosted glass, or just looking on the street through a window in a raining day drinking coffee and feeling blue just for nothing.
