You will find it difficult to describe your mother’s face accurately enough for your friend to recognize her in a supermarket. But if you show him a few of her photos, he will immediately spot the tell-tale traits he needs. As they say, a picture—an example—is worth a thousand words.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For simplicity, the pseudocode ignores termination criteria other than reaching, or failing to reach, the final state.

  2. 2.

    Of the 36 new states thus created, Fig. 1.4 shows only three.

  3. 3.

    Later, we will describe some other methodologies.
