When and why are certain data structures used in the context of web development?
- by Ein Doofus
While browsing around the MSDN I came across:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa287104%28v=vs.71%29
which lists various data structures such as:
Queues
Stacks
Hashtables
Binary Trees
Binary Search Trees
Graphs
(I believe there are also Lists) and I was hoping to get a high-level overview of when these various data structures can be used in the broad context of web development, and when used, why one data structure is generally used instead of any other one.
