O Great ETS Masters,
Is there a "constant time" ETS ordered set get largest-keyed member
function, technique, or trick?
I want to retreive the last member of the ordered set, the one with the
largest valued key, often enough to justify building a separate ETS
index table. My code would be simpler, however, of course, if I could
avoid the extra ETS table.
In C++, with a heavy dose of the Standard C++ Library containers, I'd
probably do this with the "reverse end" member of a map<>.
Sincerely,
Eric Newhuis
