<title>Datastructures</title>
<partintro>
<para>
SPL provides a set of standard datastructures. They are grouped here by their
underlying implementation which usually defines their general field of
application.
</para>
<section>
<title>Doubly Linked Lists</title>
<para>
A Doubly Linked List (DLL) is a list of nodes linked in both directions to
each other. Iterator's operations, access to both ends, addition or
removal of nodes have a cost of O(1) when the underlying structure is a DLL.
It hence provides a decent implementation for stacks and queues.

</section>
<section>
<title>Heaps</title>
<para>
Heaps are tree-like structures that follow the heap-property: each node
is greater than or equal to its children, when compared using the
implemented compare method which is global to the heap.
</para>

<section>
<title>Arrays</title>
<para>
Arrays are structures that store the data in a contiguous way,
accessible via indexes.
</para>
<note>
<simpara>
Do not confuse this with PHP's native <type>array</type> type.
PHP arrays are in reality ordered hashtables.
However, SPL provides the <classname>ArrayObject</classname> class
to wrap PHP arrays into an object.

<section>
<title>Map</title>
<para>
A map is a datastructure holding key-value pairs. PHP arrays can be seen as maps from integers/strings to values. SPL provides a map from objects to data. This map can also be used as an object set.
