This cluster contains two example
programs to illustrate the use of various
container classes.

1.
The example program 'listrace' runs a race
between the Eiffel/S class 's_list' and
a sorted list implemented using the
classical doubly linked list. It adds
various numbers of randomly generated
integers to both lists and then reports
the time in milliseconds needed to do
these insertions.

NOTE: to see the real difference between the
two kinds of list you must compile 'listrace'
with the option -O (optimize).

Compile with:
     ecc -O listrace

Run with:
     listrace

2.
The example program 'sampler' illustrates
the use of nine different Eiffel/S
container classes. It allows the user
to choose interactively the data structure
to be used and then to carry out various
operations on this structure. The program
explains itself.

Compile with:
     ecc -O sampler

Run with:
     sampler
