I've graduated in the field of Algorithms and Datastructures, and done academic research in that field for four years. I've always considered algorithms and datastructures to be equivalent. If I give you the datastructure, the algorithm is usually obvious, and visa verca.

Both algorithm and datastructure are language independent. Claiming they are language specific is saying that plays are language specific. A "for loop" is not an algorithm, for the same reason a "sentence" isn't a novel.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
