We discuss popular searching and sorting algorithms for manipulating the contents of collections, and provide a friendly introduction to Big O—a means of describing how hard an algorithm might have to work to solve a problem. We then show how to implement generic methods and classes, and custom generic data structures (this is intended for computer-science majors—most ...
