    • Jan L. Harrington
    • English
    Data structures play a key role in any serious development project, determining how the program acquires, stores, updates, and processes its in-memory data.

The first part of the book introduces the various approaches, focusing on the purposes for which each is most suited. From there, the author examines advanced functionality that can be achieved in a number of ways, helping readers choose and apply the optimal technique.
