Just to throw my 2 cents in. I think you are complicating this far more then necessary. Here are a couple of definitions I like from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. DATA STRUCTURE: Definition: An organization of information, usually in memory, for better algorithm efficiency, such as queue, stack, linked list, heap, dictionary, and tree, or conceptual unity, such as the name and address of a person. It may include redundant information, such as length of the list or number of nodes in a subtree. Note: Most data structures have associated algorithms to perform operations, such as search, insert, or balance, that maintain the properties of the data structure. ALGORITHM: Definition: A computable set of steps to achieve a desired result. Note: The word comes from the Persian author Abu Ja'far Mohammed ibn Mūsā al-Khowārizmī who wrote a book with arithmetic rules dating from about 825 A.D. http://www.nist.gov/dads/ -spiderman

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
