Abstract: A computer structure for storing and manipulating information includes a processor, a table facility, a command facility and a memory. The table facility generates a table of prime numbers and associates a unique data structure with each prime number. The data structures include container data types such as heaps, strings, trees, tables, or any combination thereof. The table facility may further incorporate an ordered pair and a display font associated with each prime numbers. The command facility translates an inbound command from an external structure and provides a command to the processor. The processor manipulates the memory to provide a response to the inbound command. Advantages of the invention include a standard method and apparatus for creating, manipulating, and displaying data structures and container data types. The structures created are adaptable to imitate known data structures and are flexible enough to describe and manipulate new data structures.

Abstract: A system for manipulating data structures includes a memory circuit configured to store a table including a plurality of prime numbers and a data structure associated with each prime number. An interface circuit is configured to receive an instruction from a calling procedure and configured to provide a response to the instruction. A processor circuit is coupled to the memory circuit and to the interface circuit and is configured to receive the instruction, to manipulate the table according to the instruction and to provide a response to the interface circuit. The data structures may also be associated with font patterns.
