There are only 3 data structures

&quot; I can&#x27;t imagine anything else you can possibly store about relative elements besides index and order (and nothing). Graphs are their own other planet, and I don&#x27;t think we can easily say much about them. So the 3 data structure types you can have are:<p>1. indexed data structures with an O(n) worst-case operation<p>2. order-less data structures with an O(1) worst-case operation<p>3. sorted data structures with an O(log n) worst-case operation<p>That&#x27;s it. Let me know what you think&quot;<p>I disagree.<p>sorting is a O(n*log(n)) worst-case operation for example.

I&#x27;m not sure if this is very obvious or very interesting. Let me know what you think (I wrote the article).
