Computer data structures: Stacks and Queues
Stacks and Queues are common computer data structures in almost all operating systems, if not all computer programs heavily rely on at least one of them. In abstract, both are a type of linked-lists; a linked list is a dynamic data structure, unlike arrays that have limited capacity and few inefficient data manipulation techniques. The linked …
The best programming language
“What’s the best programming language?” is a very common argument between developers that can go back forever. Each claim his/her programming language performs the best. For example, even though Java and C# have a lot in common; both are object-oriented languages, both are compiled to an intermediate language then interpreted with a just in time …
