function [U,G] = surfer(root,n)
% UPDATED VERSION
% SURFER Create the adjacency graph of a portion of the Web.
% [U,G] = surfer(root,n) starts at the URL root and follows
% Web links until it forms an adjacency graph with n nodes.
% U = a cell array of n strings, the URLs of the nodes.
% G = an n-by-n sparse matrix with G(i,j)=1 if node j is linked to node i.
%
% Example: [U,G] = surfer('https://inf.ethz.ch/',500);
% See also PAGERANK.
%
% This function currently has two defects. (1) The algorithm for
% finding links is naive. We just look for the string 'http:'.
% (2) An attempt to read from a URL that is accessible, but very slow,
% might take an unacceptably long time to complete. In some cases,
% it may be necessary to have the operating system terminate MATLAB.
% Key words from such URLs can be added to the skip list in surfer.m.
