When a program attempts to search a data structure for a particular item, it uses an algorithm. An algorithm is a process, defined in code, for carrying out a specific task.

All of the data structures we’ll look at in this series are aggregates. Containers. Anything from which data items are stored and retrieved could be considered a data structure.

Learn when and how to use different data structures and their algorithms in your own code. This is harder as a student, as the problem assignments you'll work through just won't impart this knowledge.

The Application Driver Many scientific applications involve asynchronous updates to irregular data structures such as adaptive meshes, sparse matrices, hash tables, histograms, graphs, and dynamic ...
