Hey guys , i am doing survey about programming ability that will help to find the result on people's ability of programming (how do they understand the concept of data structure) . I give the link below to download

The result is based on how they fulfill all those components (linked-list, tree, graph and so on) as well as the algorithm itself the more efficiency the better . those who have solved the problem can submit your source code to my email foxinema@opensuse.us or handinugraha@gmail.com

Try your best

The requirement for it to be efficient is possible isn't really necessary. Two systems that are "fast enough" will probably be indistinguishable in terms of speed. This would be 100 times easier to write in a dynamic language and *easily* fast enough i.e. the difference would be imperceptible to the user.

The fact that you are encouraged to use various data structures is a bit silly. By making these suggestions you are stopping people from implementing different and potentially better solutions. For example, I'd say simple database-driven approach would solve the problem much more simply than explicitly using linked lists, trees and graphs explicitly. Of course, you could be asking people to construct the software from scratch, but this requirement should be mentioned explicitly.

So u mean u can not solve it ? As a programmer u should be able to work on the program in whatever condition . The needed requirement is actually to measure how good u are in that area ,

ok..the efficient one is not necessary , as long as u can solve it that is better

I'm sure I could solve it just fine.

But if I was forced to do it in the way you suggest I would get very frustrated because I'd end up with what I would consider an ugly and over-engineered solution.

So you won't give bonus points for better solutions? What is it that makes you think your suggestions are a good way of solving the problem?

My point is that you should specify requirements, but not implementation details. Requirements come from the customer, the most suitable implementation is best decided by the programmer.
