What is a Plex in terms of data structure? I read this question somewhere
Which of the following abstract data types can be used to
represent a many-to-many relation?
(a) Tree. (b) Plex
(c) Graph. (d) Both (b) and (c)
The correct option was (d).
I googled the term but not found anything that explains it in simpler terms.
Here's my understanding from this site:
A Plex data structure, is like a linked list of n-sized arrays. Where each array is called as Bead
and each bead can contain either information or a pointer to another bead.
It is a more efficient data structure alternative used to represent an "intricate network of interrelated parts".
Here's an example taken from the same site:
