Knuth /ka-nooth'/ n.
[Donald E. Knuth's "The Art of
Computer Programming"] Mythically, the reference that answers all
questions about data structures or algorithms. A safe answer when
you do not know: "I think you can find that in Knuth." Contrast
the literature. See also bible. There is a Donald
Knuth home page at
