     Fast*er* string comparison - an alternative to thousands of strcmp calls
 
+    This is an O(n) solution - n being the length of the string to be checked. 
+    A plus is that this method will stay O(n) *no matter the length of the string
+    nor the number of strings to be checked against*. 
+
+    Potential minuses might be the additional memory needed to store the trie
+    data structure or the computational time required to generate the tree before
+    utilizing it. Therefore, users are advised to use a secure, fast hashmap 
+    instead of streecmp. streecmp is only applied to specific scenarios where 
+    a rather simple or fast solution for string comparison is required so the
+    project moves on.
