[Writing Prompt] Data Structures and Algorithms

Everyone has a different approach to finding solutions within the areas of data structure and algorithm construction -- both in the actual process of developing code and during job interviews.

We would like for you to tell us yours.

This writing prompt series at HackerNoon is intended to help those who may be preparing for an interview or various other academic or personal projects.

Below are some common data structure and algorithm structure examples to help you get started.

Please consider sharing with us how and why you solved a particular case in your preferred way.

Choose from any one (or all) of the following instances or consider writing about an entirely new example.
