I plan to get this and also to put a steam engine in my car...

I understand that this effort is well intentioned but IMHO this is a colossal waste of time, ad here is what I mean: many of these terms have become well understood in the programming/software space, have unambiguous meaning and serve as communication shortcuts in conversation, documentation and sometimes code itslef. Image how much time will be wasted understanding and disambiguating the proposed alternatives.

Many years ago, I purchased TA0CP because I was stuck. I simply could not get a tiny 8-bit microcontroller to linearly search a lengthy data array in real time. I found the solution in the preface of the work! Simply put the value that you are looking for at the end. That way, you can eliminate checking for the end of the array in the search loop. So, at least for me, I got mymoney's worth after a couple of pages.
