Abstract
Niklaus Wirth, the creator of Pascal, Modula-2, and more recently, Oberon, once wrote a book entitled Data Structures + Algorithms = Programs. A key idea of that book is that data structures and algorithms must work together to produce a result. Further, the thesis is proposed that data structures and algorithms must be developed together, and, using modern languages, should be packaged together as a unit of functionality.
