ABSTRACT:
An electronic dictionary comprising an input device, a display, a dictionary memory, a searching device, and an indicator device. The memory consists of plural divisions of equal storage capacity and stores multiple sets of word data representative of different words in an alphabetical order. Each set of word data is stored in one of the plural divisions such that each of the divisions has at its end a waste portion storing no part of any of the multiple sets of word data, if the number of characters of the first set of word data stored in the following division is larger than the number of characters which may be stored in the waste portion. In response to input data entered through the input device, the display displays the input data, and the searching device finds, in a binary search process, one of the plural divisions of the memory which is assigned to store the set of word data representative of the input data, and scans the found division to search the set of word data representative of the input data. The indicator device indicates whether the set of word data representative of the input data has been found or not.
