in reply to Re^2: Comparing a large set of DNA sequences
in thread Comparing a large set of DNA sequences
That's a brilliant way to do it. My own brute force method of comparing all the strings character by character required 5,000,050,000 comparisons and took almost 4 hours. Yours loops through 100,000 items once, then loops through a maximum of 2,000,000 keys once. It's not even close.
