Hashing and data structures.

A data structure is a specialized way of storing data. There are two data structure properties that are critical if you want to understand how a blockchain works. They are pointers

Pointers are variables in programming which stores the address of another variable. Usually normal variables in any programming language stores data.

Eg. int a = 10, means that there is a variable “a” which stores integer values. In this case, it is storing an integer value which is 10. This is a normal variable.

Pointers, however, instead of storing values will store addresses of other variables. Which is why they are called pointers, because they are literally pointing towards the location of other variables.
