| May 9, 2012 at 16:27 | comment | added | Rachel | @maple_shaft Ok, I added two references which back up the claim that programmers use the term differently than the dictionary dictionary. One is from a lecture from a university on computer science, and the other is an online wikibook on data structures. Please let me know if that is enough | |
| May 9, 2012 at 16:13 | comment | added | maple_shaft Mod | Rachel, I like your edit, but the claim that some developers use the term data-structure to refer to only collections and arrays needs to be notable for me to reopen. I have personally experienced those in the industry who have incorrectly defined "data-structure" as a collection, so if you can find a reference that makes this claim then it will be suitable for reopening. | |
