For christ's sake. I've met far too many people with Uni degrees who don't know what a B-Tree is, or even what a linked list is (truly scary).


yeah but they could rewrite std::stack... um, without templates.


If they did indeed do that without understanding how a linked list works, then they're not going to do very well at it.


Surprisingly most software devs I've met understand arrays and hashes, but few know what a linked list is.

I think this is an artifact on many of them using high level languages where linked lists are rarely used.

That's no excuse though
