==Problem with OO and C== |
==Problem with OO and C== |

Surely C is not an OO language and so should not be said to have classes and methods. Would it not be better to state that there are a number of functions that manipulate strings and are mostly named with a prefix of "str". --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 06:24, 5 June 2012 (UTC) |

== Request for Deletion == |
|||
I challenge the existence of this page. |
|||
According to Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collection_(abstract_data_type)#Abstract_concept_vs._implementation ''collections'' is a concept], an idea, creating another ''abstraction layer'' on top of the actual implementation like an [[array]] or [[linked list]]. |
|||
This abstraction layer creates an [[interface]] to operate on an unordered aggregation of data, so the actual implementation can be ''swapped without'' breaking anything. |
|||
Hence there is no “idiomatic solution” of this “task”, but infinitely many: |
|||
This page virtually ''reproduces'' all contents of [[:Category: Data Structures]] in ''one page''. |
|||
That’s pretty counterproductive. |
|||
I therefore nominate this page for deletion (or, better, transformation into a disambiguation/explanation page). |
