Data Structures and Algorithms
- Backtracking (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backtracking) - When you explore a search space and you reach a dead end, you follow your tracks back to the last crossroad and try the other way. 
- Brute force (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_search) - Violence is actually almost always a solution but not a very clever one.
- Greedy algorithm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm) - An algorithm that finds a solution by always picking the currently best looking option without thinking too much about past and future 
decisions.
- Hill climbing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_climbing) - Starting somewhere in the hilly "landscape" of solutions you go in the direction of steepest ascent until reaching the top of a hill. You might 
miss higher hills though. 
- Israeli Queue (https://rapidapi.com/blog/israeli-queues-exploring-a-bizarre-data-structure/) - A type of priority queue and a reference to the infamously unorganized queues in Israel. Here items can cut in 
line when they have already waiting friends.

- Tree (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_(data_structure)) - A hierarchically organized data structure. From the _root_ item the other items _branch out_ into _nodes_ and _leaves_. A collection of trees is 
often called a forest.
