Why should you care?

Parsing, BFS, and monotonic patterns depend on these.

See it live — copy this example

Run snippets in a .NET console app, LINQPad, or https://dotnetfiddle.net. Write Big O above every solution.

var st = new Stack<int>();
var q = new Queue<int>();
// PriorityQueue in .NET
st.Push(1); q.Enqueue(1);

What happened?

• Pick Stack or Queue deliberately; know Push/Pop vs Enqueue/Dequeue.
• Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.

Practice next

1. Type the snippet in a C# console or LINQPad.
2. Write Big O on top of your solution.
3. Test empty / single-element edge cases.
4. Add a failing test then fix it.
5. Rename variables to domain words.

Remember

You can code a small C# example for PriorityQueue in .NET. You know the complexity class. You tested at least one edge case.
