It serves as the fundamental basis for Burstsort and can be seen as a deterministic finite automaton.
It serves as the fundamental basis for Burstsort and can be seen as a deterministic finite automaton. As the number of items it stores get large, the speeds at which its inserts, finds, and deletes become very similar. Unlike a binary search tree, this does not have to be balanced, and unlike a hash table, this facilitates longest-prefix matching. Useful in spell-checking applications, FTP, name this data structure invented by Edward Fredkin in which the keys associated with the nodes are not explicitly stored, but rather defined by their positions in the tree.

trie [TRY] or prefix tree (prompt for spelling if the answer sounds like TREE, do not accept directed acyclic word graph or suffix tree)
