Conceptualizing data structures
Achuth Sankar S. Nair, T. Mahalakshmi · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 2004
This paper discusses a pedagogical approach to conceptualizing data structures. Currently there appears to be a need for consistent, logical, and extensible visual representation for conceptualizing data structures. A very simple graphic representation of memory is shown to be highly useful in conceptualizing data structures and in introducing pointers. It is also pointed out that the model could be translated into a multimedia equivalent where additional pedagogic advantages can be derived.
