I often realize that our education has so many downfalls and short comings. Even if you are a well experienced student studying your computer lessons, it used to take a long to realize what you have studied and it’s implication on the real world. Especially on the collage days or learning period you are never going to get away with what really all these heck does and what is it used for. It is just meant for passing out our exams. Especially in the programming world this leads to great mistakes even without knowing that you have committed a mistake and they there are more efficient way to tackle this easily.
The data structure is one such thing. On those days, we never realised what is it really used for and it was just another subject for us to pass the exam. During the initial programming days.. I was fascinated to know that these concepts are really used internally even in the basic stuffs like arrays and list we more frequently use to hold the data in our programs and we would be there in a much more advanced state if we could know these things during the period of study. :(
