(big-Oh) in terms of input size n

- performance
- tying data structure choices to requirements
- data abstraction
- addressing: pointers, references
- aggregation (product types): structs, records
- example: node in a linked list
- variation (sum types): tagged unions, multiple implementations of an interface
- example: mutable set abstraction
- add element
- remove element
- check whether an element is present
- check if empty
- how many elements
- several possible implementations
- reasonable: binary search tree, hash table, bit vector (for small underlying domains)
- less reasonable: array, linked list
- see also here
