I'm taking an "object-oriented programming" course which has basically turned into a C++ course. In order to familiarize ourselves with the algorithms provided by the stl, we aren't allowed to use ...

Like arrays, which were introduced in Part 3 of this tutorial series, linked lists are a fundamental data structure category upon which more complex data structures can be based.

Also, a recursive algorithm can always be implemented iteratively by using an explicit stack. Finally, I'd note that a five-line solution is probably always better than a 100 line one (assuming ...
