Picture path

  1. A landing branches into child flights above and below. Which data structure is the place itself?Read parent-and-child architecture, not the technique a visitor might perform on it.
  2. Opening one letter drawer reveals the next letter drawers deeper inside. Which structure is this room?The route is built one character at a time and shared beginnings use the same early drawers.
  3. Only the top plate can be removed from a tall tower and new plates land on that same end. What structure is it?Notice that the newest item is the first item available to leave.
  4. New ticket holders enter at the back while the earliest holder exits at the front. What structure runs the hallway?Follow arrival time from one end to the other; nobody can jump ahead.
