    Hi all,

    I have a c++ technical interview soon, the only instruction I have been given as to the content is that I will have to "implement a data structure in C++" and will be given two hours to do so...

    two hours seems like a pretty long time to implement a linked list or binary tree.... any ideas on stuff I should look up/revise before hand

    Thanks

    I'm primarily a Java coder, but I do some of this. I'm not talking about a new implementation of a list here, but of real-life data modelling.

    In terms of design, check out domain driven design. Also be aware of factories as a means of creating new objects.

    Bear in mind how you would traverse your new objects: how would you find one in a collection, how would you display them in a UI and how would you persist them to a database

    Don't forget about typing: one of the major benefits of any compiled language, and think about how you would validate your data as you fill your objects.
