List of terms relating to algorithms and data structures
(Redirected from Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures)
 | This article needs to be updated. The reason given is: This list is based on the NIST "Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures," which was published online in 1998. (September 2018) |
The NIST Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures[1] is a reference work maintained by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. It defines a large number of terms relating to algorithms and data structures. For algorithms and data structures not necessarily mentioned here, see list of algorithms and list of data structures.
This list of terms was originally derived from the index of that document, and is in the public domain, as it was compiled by a Federal Government employee as part of a Federal Government work. Some of the terms defined are:
