Everyone:
Next week, we will work on problems related to sequence containers such as arrays, lists, stacks, and queues. While these are rather basic data structures, it is important to understand their properties and behavior, which we will take advantage of in Challenge 01 and Challenge 02.
The readings for this week are:

Chapter 4 Data Structures
4.1 Dynamic arrays
4.4 Iterators and ranges
4.5 Other structures
4.6 Comparison to sorting
