A skip is a structure consisting of several of these in parallel, which results in a search time complexity that is logarithmic in the number of elements.
A skip is a structure consisting of several of these in parallel, which results in a search time complexity that is logarithmic in the number of elements. The HP STL [aych pee ess tee el] contains an implementation of the headed, circular variety of these, which allows easy destruction and, in that implementation, each object contains a value, a pointer to itself, a pointer to its predecessor, and a pointer to its successor. For 10 points, name the linear data structures that have "singly" and "doubly" varieties and that are often used to implement stacks.
