Башня Дезерт-Вью
Настенная роспись Ф. Кэботи в Наблюдательной башне Дезерт-Вью

Наблюдательная башня Дезерт-Вью, англ. Desert View Watchtower — каменное сооружение высотой 21 метр, расположенное на Южном Гребне Гранд-Каньона (на территории Национального парка Гранд-Каньон в штате Аризона, США). Четырёхэтажное здание, завершённое в 1932 году, спроектировала американский архитектор Мэри Колтер, известная также сооружением ряда зданий в «традиционно индейском» стиле и в стиле «Дикого Запада», в том числе таких, как en:Hermit's Rest, en:Lookout Studio, Хопи-Хаус и др. Внутренние стены расписал Фред Кэботи.[1]

На нижнем этаже башни в настоящее время (2009 год) расположен магазин сувениров, а верхние этажи служат для того, чтобы посетители могли полюбоваться видом на восточную часть Гранд-Каньона. Башня причислена к Национальным историческим памятникам США 28 мая 1987 года.

В 2008 году двое туристов получили постоянный запрет на посещение любых национальных парков США после того, как они использовали фломастер-маркер и белую замазку, чтобы исправить пунктуацию на табличке, которая являлась историческим памятником, поскольку её нарисовала сама Мэри Колтер.[2]

String-searching algorithm

Searches for patterns within strings In computer science, string-searching algorithms, sometimes called string-matching algorithms, are an important class of string algorithms that try to find a place where one or several strings (also called patterns) are found within a larger string or text. A basic example of string searching is when the pattern and the searched text are arrays of elements of an alphabet (finite set) Σ. Σ may be a human language alphabet, for example, the letters A throu...
