I was disagreeing with the notion that you can only say which algorithm to use if you know the specific application. There are general trade-offs between algorithms which hold independent of any specific application.
- taeric 14y agoBut the thought is that the specific application will determine which trade-offs are acceptable and/or applicable. So... I'm still not sure how you are disagreeing. Now, you can list out the various tradeoffs easily enough. And some algorithms are superior to others, I would imagine. However, which to use and the impact it will have on an application depend more on the application than the datastructure. Or, am I completely off my rocker?
