The datastructures package consists of two parts: interface declarations and implementations. The goal of interface declarations is to define standard interfaces for datastructures and decouple them from the implementations. This enables easy exchangability of implementations, for example for more efficient implementations, or implementations more suited for parallelisation or sequential use. The datastructures package declares interfaces for the following datastructures: * queues * doubly linked lists * heaps * priority queues * hash tables * dictionaries gap-packages/datastructures
