Here are some questions that are trivial to many of us:
- When is a quicksort better than a heapsort?
- When should I use garbage collection techniques over explicit programmer controlled memory management.
- What type of garbage collection should I implement?
- What can I use associative arrays for?
Choosing the correct algorithm is critical to the performance of software. A decent
PatternLanguage for this would make a wonderful supplement to standard texts on algorithms and data structures.
