算法導(dǎo)論上的偽碼改寫而成，加上導(dǎo)論的課后練習第一題的解的構(gòu)造函數(shù)。
代碼如下:

Optimal Binary Search Tree
to find by using EditDistance algorithm
refer to <<introduction to algorithms>>
example output:
"k2 is the root of the tree."
"k1 is the left child of k2."
"d0 is the left child of k1."
"d1 is the right child of k1."
"k5 is the right child of k2."
"k4 is the left child of k5."
"k3 is the left child of k4."
"d2 is the left child of k3."
"d3 is the right child of k3."
"d4 is the right child of k4."
"d5 is the right child of k5."

The expected cost is 2.75.
