As stated in the introduction, this section of this guide is structured in question-answer form. This is not meant to capture every possible question asked of us on the Nektar++ users list; however, this set of (ever-growing) questions are meant to capture the “big ideas” that developers want to know about how Collections work and how they can be used.

In this section, we will through question and answer format try to cover the following basic algorithmic concepts that are found within the Collections part of the library:

With the big ideas in place, let us now start into our questions.
