Container Classes

| I've polished up the container classes I use to manage objects and have written up a tutorial on how to use them. Here's the link! Any suggestions on how I can make my API, code, or tutorial simpler? |
| ||
| Maybe you need a more comprehensive intro to what container classes are and/or why they are useful. I'm wondering what the advantage here is over using Blitz's types. |
| ||
| Thanks for the feedback. I've rewritten the Overview section and hope things are clearer. Does it make sense now and answer what you were wondering about? EDIT: Note that they're not a replacement for Blitz's types. |
| ||
| To really understand I'll have to go through the examples later, but already the rewrite helps a lot. Now I have a better understanding of what they are, although I still don't see the point. |
| ||
| I'm hoping to get the overview articulate enough to let people know why they want to keep reading - without relying on having people grok anything more than very simple example code. I've revised the overview again, adding information on the limitations of the basic object organization strategies. I hope it's not too bloated now. I'm planning on adding a few example scenarios to explain when container classes would be useful. |
| ||
| *** REVISED OVERVIEW AGAIN *** Any feedback or interest in these? I use them all the time, after growing fond of the C++ STL equivalents. If no one has interest, I might as well stop updating the code archive entries. |
| ||
| I'm quite interested in these, the linked list class looks very useful and the project i'm working might also make use of hash tables too... Very handy stuff - great contribution to the community! |

| It certainly can't hurt to have some bullet-proof STL-like code ready to drop into Blitz... keep up the good work. I'm sure I will use this at some point... Now if you will excuse me I have some big rocks to move and I am thinking of chipping four of them into round shapes and putting them at each corner to see if it helps move things more easily ;-) |
