I suppose the "top 256" list would remain sorted and any candidates greater than the minimum would be inserted into the list. Would a linear array be the best representation for this list? I don't think the top 256 need to be sorted, as a ...

Cohen's partial solution to traffic woes is "obvious (at least to me)," he writes in a memo to county planners. But it hasn't been obvious to everyone else. Cohen, of Lawrenceville, is getting ...

No, it's a feature: partial completion mode leaves point at the position where there's the first difference between several possible completions. Unlike what you seem to think, when partial completion mode is on, trace.<TAB> can complete to both trace.txt and trace2.txt. This is what partial completion mode is all about: it completes each part of the input (in this ...
