Chapter Four. Algorithms and Data Structures
This chapter presents fundamental data types that are essential building blocks for a broad variety of applications. We present full implementations, even though some of them are built into Python, so that you can have a clear idea of how they work and why they are important.
Objects can contain references to other objects, so we can build structures known as linked structures, which can be arbitrarily complex. With linked structures and arrays, we can build data structures to organize information in such a way that we can efficiently process it with associated algorithms. In a data type, ...
