$S$ is the string of characters:TACGCGGT$
For string S and each of the positions $i=1,2,\dots,9$ write down the suffix string starting at position $i$.
What is the above question asking? For the following question I need to create the suffix tree, which I have done. But the above question seems to be asking me to simply write:
TACGCGGT$,ACGCGGT$,CGCGGT$,GCGGT$,CGGT$,GGT$,GT$,T$,$.
Surely that isn't the answer to the problem. What does it mean?
Alternatively: It could be asking me for
T: ACGCGGT$,$
A: CGCGGT$
C: GCGGT$,GGT$
G: CGGT$,GT$,T$
C: GGT$
$: ``
But that seems absurd, since it doesn't really feel like $i=1,2,\dots,9$ since we don't really do $i=6,7,8$, as they are already done.
The first way seems wrong since it would be too easy for a second year math course, especially for $8\%$ of the test's value...
