this paper is to demonstrate a number of techniques which may be used in calculating algorithms for sequence-oriented problems. It may be considered as a further step in the development of a programming method which started with [5]. The basic observation underlying this method is that algorithms can be the result of a systematic development, in which all design decisions and applied insights are clearly identifiable. One might even claim that the essence of an algorithm is its derivation, and not the program text that results from such a derivation
