 This chapter presents my work on designing and building a linked-list library for \CFA.
-Due to time limitations and the needs expressed by the \CFA runtime developers, I focussed on providing a doubly-linked list, and its bidirectionally iterators for traversal. 
+Due to time limitations and the needs expressed by the \CFA runtime developers, I focussed on providing a doubly-linked list, and its bidirectional iterators for traversal. 
 Simpler data-structures, like stack and queue, can be built from the doubly-linked mechanism with only a slight storage/performance cost because of the unused link field.
-Reducing to data-structures with a single link follows directly from the more complex doubly-links and its iterators.

+In these examples, the two defined Size Zones (4--16 being ``small,'' and above 50 being ``medium,'') covering four specific sizes apiece, each tends to show a simple winner/loser story.
 Manual inspection of other such plots (not detailed) showed that this quality is generally upheld.
 So these zones are used for basing comparison.
