Abstract :
Software reuse is the use of existing software knowledge or artifacts to build new software. There are many types of software reuse (W. Frakes and C. Terry, 1996). The reuse described in the paper is ad-hoc, black box, compositional, code reuse. Ad hoc means that the reuse is not part of a repeatable mandated organizational process. The paper is concerned with code from a book on data structures and algorithms for information retrieval (IR) systems (W. Frakes and R. Baeza-Yates, 1992). Information retrieval systems retrieve textual documents from a database in response to queries submitted to the system by users
