Data Structures the Fun Way

Introduction

This is a book about computational thinking through the lens of data structures, constructs for organizing and storing data. It is more than a cookbook of handy data structures. Rather, it explores the thinking behind these structures and their fundamental impact on solving complex problems, using real-world analogies to make abstract computational concepts intuitive. The goal of this book is to provide new insights into how you can use preexisting structure within the data to your advantage or create new structures to efficiently solve problems.

Among other things, I discuss the differences between arrays and linked lists, the ...
