All you need is RIGHT Data Structures at RIGHT implementation.

So, lets erase the confusion of what, which, when the data structure to be used through this article.
As part of academic we are well known that, data structures are classified into Linear and Non-Linear Data Structures.

Linear are the Data Structures like Array, Sorted Array, Stack, Queue, Linked List.
Non-Linear are the Data Structures Like Binary Tree, Red-Black Tree, 2-3-4 Tree, Graph, Hash Table, Heap

Array:
Advantages:
1. Quick Insertion
2. Quick Access of any element in the array
Disadvantages:
1. Slow Deletion
2. Slow Search

Sorted Array:
Advantages:
1. Quick Search
2. Quick Access of any element
Disadvantages:
1. Slow Deletion, Insertion

Stack:
Advantages:
1. Last In First Out access
Disadvantages:
1. Slow Access, Search for remaining elements

Queue:
Advantages:
1. First In First Out Access
Disadvantages:
1. Slow Access, Search for other elements

Linked List:
Advantages:
1. Quick Insertion, Deletion
Disadvantages:
1. Slow Search

Binary Tree:
Advantages:
1. Quick Search, Insertion, Deletion ( If the Tree is BALANCED )
Disadvantages:
1. Deletion Algorithm is complex

Red-Black Tree:
Advantages:
1. Quick Search, Insertion, Deletion ( Tree is ALWAYS BALANCED )
Disadvantages:
1. Complex

2-3-4 Tree:
Advantages:
1. Quick Search, Insertion, Deletion ( Tree is ALWAYS BALANCED )
2. Good for Disk Storage
Disadvantages:
1. Complex

Hash Table:
Advantages:
1. Fast Access if the key is known
2. Fast Insertion
Disadvantages:
1. Slow Access, Insertion

Heap:
Advantages:
1. Fast Insertion, Deletion
2. Fast Access to the largest item
Disadvantages:
1. Slow Access to the remaining items

10 Core Concepts for network administration

The 10 core concepts that every Windows network admin must know. These are the things that you not only need to know in your day to day job as a Windows Network Admin but for anyone who is interviewing as a network admin. Introduction Recently a relative of mine went for a job interview as a security analyst. She was asked a number of technical questions in the interview but the ones that she struggles with the most were the networking questions (as she had not used or studies networking in some time). I thought that this article might be helpful for Windows Network Admins out there who need some "brush-up tips" as well as those who are interviewing for network admins jobs to come up with a list of 10 networking concepts that every network admin should know. So, here is my list of 10 core networking concepts that every Windows Network Admin (or those interviewing for a job as one) must know: 1.     DNS Lookup The domain naming system (DNS) is a cornersto...

Banyan VINES

Banyan VINES Banyan Virtual Integrated Network Service (VINES) implements a distributed network operating system based on a proprietary protocol family derived from the Xerox Corporation's Xerox Network Systems (XNS) protocols. VINES uses a client/server architecture in which clients request certain services, such as file and printer access, from servers. This article provides a summary of VINES communications protocols. The VINES protocol stack is illustrated in  Figure: The VINES Protocol Stack Consists of Five Separate Levels .
