# Piece Table

This was part of a larger ambition to write my own text editor. Then I got

bored and gave up. But hey, at least I finished the piece table

implementation.

If you're curious, a [piece table](https://darrenburns.net/posts/piece-table/)

is a clever data structure designed to optimize string manipulations and their

affect on memory. But considering you found this repository, you probably know

that already. So here's a disclaimer: I have no idea what I'm doing, and I'm

a terrible Rust programmer. I wouldn't recommend using it.

Anyway, here's the gist:

```rust

use piece_table::Document;

fn main() {

    let mut doc = Document::from("Old title");

    doc.insert(3, " revised");

    doc.delete(&(0..5));

    doc.insert(0, "R");

    assert_eq!(doc.to_string(), "Revised title");

}

```
