- Method Detail
  - addAlphabetSymbol
```
void addAlphabetSymbol(I symbol)
```
    Notifies the data structure that a new symbol should be added to the alphabet. Behavior depends on the implementation:
    
    After adding a new symbol, the symbol-related data may either be initialized with default values or undefined.
    
    Duplicate symbols may: (1) be handled accordingly, (2) be ignored or (3) result in an error.
    
    Some data structures may need to be properly initialized (e.g. with a GrowingAlphabet) to handle potentially shared state across multiple instances. If the needed requirements are not met, a GrowingAlphabetNotSupportedException can be thrown.
    Parameters:
    
    symbol - the symbol to add to the alphabet.
    
    Throws:
    
    GrowingAlphabetNotSupportedException - if the data structure was not properly initialized (e.g. with a GrowingAlphabet).
