Problem statement
Let’s suppose that we have a really complex data structure due to various constraints that we have to overcome. Perhaps, we need to arrange the data into a binary search tree to enable an efficient search algorithm. Or perhaps it’s a linked list where each item in the collection needs to know about the next item.
In any ...
