In this chapter, we discussed data structures that can be used to implement various types of algorithms. After going through this chapter, I expect that you should be able to select the right data structure to be used to store and process data by an algorithm. You should also be able to understand the implications of our choice on the performance of the algorithm.

The next chapter is about sorting and searching algorithms, where we will be using some of the data structures presented in this chapter in the implementation of the algorithms.
