When you choose to use an array to represent data, you are making a design decision

But design decisions should go beyond how data is stored; they should also involve how the data is used

Often, you’ll find it profitable to write specific functions to handle specific data operations

(The profits here include increased program reliability, ease of [...]

Passing structures by value makes the most sense when the structure is relatively compact

So let’s look at a couple examples along those lines

The first example deals with travel time (not to be confused with time travel)

Some maps will tell you that
