Using data structures in Icon

Compared to some popular languages like C, it is almost effortless to build and use complex data structures in the Icon language.

• For storing things as arrays, stacks, and queues, see using the list type in Icon.
• If you want to store things so that they can be retrieved later with a particular key value, see using the table type in Icon.
• You can also create structures that have mixtures of things in them (like records in Pascal or structs in C). See creating your record types in Icon.

These three basic structural elements can be connected together in arbitrary ways to build larger data structures.
