+  For this challenge regarding the line at an amusement park I opted to use an
+array as the data structure.  I came to this decision as an array is already much
+like a line.
+
+  You can easily add "people" to the end of the "line" using the array.push
+method, similar to people joining a real world line at the end.  An array of
+is also linear like a line, and using some basic ruby method you can modify the
+array to show people leaving and entering the line in addition to seeing who is
+first, last and in the middle.
+
+  Developers would be able to access and manipulate this data by using Ruby array
+method in addition to searching by index.  Developers could also search by name
+using the detect method Ruby provides.
+
+  I believe that an array was the right solution.  I can also envision arrays
+being a useful data structure for other situations such as a to-do list of items,
+or the midi values and their related notes on a piano.  Some other examples that
+come to mind would be a repair queue at a phone shop, storing high scores on
+sequential levels of an arcade game, etc.  The list could go on and on as there
+is much real-world data that an array could represent.
+
+  While arrays are a more straight forward and simple data structure their use
+and ability to represent data is very valuable to developers.

+  For this challenge regarding the pixel and screen I opted to use a matrix made
+up of an array containing arrays.  This allowed me to represent the height and
+width of the screen that will then contain the pixels.
+
+  This data structure will allow for easy access to the data in the matrix.  By
+using matrix[coordinate-x][coordinate-y] you can easily manipulate or retrieve the data in the structure.  Developers
+would be able to easily search for pixels by coordinates.
+
+  This data structure could be useful for other real world data representations
+such as any game that utilizes a grid, for example battleship, connect 4 or 
+tick tack toe.  In addition previous checkpoints showed that a matrix can be used
+to represent graph data such as vertices and edges.

+set the new head as the element at queue[0] and the tail as element at queue[-1].
+
+  My dequeue method allows for FIFO as it will remove the first item in the queue
+after storing it temporarily(so that it can be returned).  Following the removal of
+the first element it will set the new head to the new item at queue[0] and the new
+tail to queue[-1].  It will then return the previous head.
+

+to zero then the method will return false as it is not empty

+  Spacial Locality involves accessing items that are close together in memory, as
+in an array.  This benefits performance as it limits the number of RAM lookups which
+are more time consuming.
+
+  I have created the benchmark tests for the array and the linked list.  I found
+array out performed the linked list in all 3 tests.  When creating the 10,000 item
+array and appending 10,000 items to the linked list the array completed slightly
+more then 4 seconds before the linked list.  The list had to move through all previous
+nodes to add to the tail node, explaining why it took so much longer.  Accessing
+the 5,000th element and deleting the 5,000 element were much closer as far as time
+but the array was still faster in both tests.
+

+  In order to deal with collisions, this checkpoint instructed us to double the
+length of the array and re-map the keys with the new array size.  This made it
+relatively simple to fix collisions.
+
+  Although this is an easy way to deal with collisions it is not the most effective.
+There are a couple things to consider about this option and why it may not be
+the best.  As you double the size of arrays they will grow faster and faster,
+potentially taking up too much space.  This process also requires allocating more
+memory which is not a quick task.  In addition if collisions are happening 
+frequently the array is doubling making it so items in your array are more spaced
+out, leaving a lot of nil values in the array and wasting space, which would not be very
+efficient.
+
+  While doubling the size of an array may work in certain scenarios there are
+definitely better solutions to this problem, such as the expansion method described
+in the checkpoint (increasing to a prime number near the next largest power of two).

+Q: Describe three collision resolution strategies not mentioned here.
+
+A: The first collision resolution I found that wasn't mentioned in bloc's curriculum
+is the Coalesced hashing strategy.  It is described as a mix between chaining and
+open addressing.  This method allows for better use of space like open addressing.
+Each slot gets a single element, and if a collision occurs the node in the slot
+stores a link to the next open index value.  This allows for a quicker look up like
+you get with chaining.
+
+  Another method not mentioned is "Separate chaining with list head cells".  It is
+very similar to the chaining method we discussed in the checkpoint.  The standout
+difference is that it stores the first element of each chain in the slot itself,
+reducing the pointer traversals by one.  While it is a slight difference it could
+be valuable to get that extra boost of performance in certain scenarios.
+
+  A third method that wasn't in the curriculum is Hopscotch hashing.  This method
+utilizes a single array and for each slot in the array it creates a "neighborhood"
+of small consecutive slots.  Because of the close proximity of the "neighborhood"
+the cost of finding an item with in this area is close to the cost of finding the
+desired slot itself.  If there isn't a spot in the "neighborhood" it uses linear
+probing to find an available slot then must displace items to move this open spot
+closer to the original and into the "neighborhood", which can be an expensive process.
+
+
+Q: Create your own collision resolution strategy and describe how it works.
+
+A:  After researching many different collision resolution strategies, and spending
+a fair amount of time brain storming one of my own I came with a couple ideas.
+One that incorporates separate chaining but will potentially help with the time
+it takes to recall an element when a collision has taken place.  My second idea
+uses binary search to help with the look up when multiple keys collide with
+one index.  Both will utilize load factors and dynamic resizing to ensure that they
+are as performant as possible.
+
+  My first method would use linked lists and would traverse the list to find other nodes that
+have collided with this index.  Though I would include a counter instance variable
+that would increment as the node is accessed.  The linked list would be ordered by
+number of times items were need, placing the most accessed item in the list at
+the index and linking the second most and so on down the list.  As an item is accessed
+more it will be in turn be faster to access.  On the fist collision in an index the second
+item added will be placed at the end of the linked list, as item[i] is called its
+counter would increase and if it is accessed more it will become quicker to find, thus
+reducing traversals for items that have been accessed more frequently.  While this
+method would be harder to implement I think it could add a slight performance boost
+in the right situations.
+
+    Another method I came up with would incorporate a binary search.  When a collision
+occurs an array would be placed in the index location.  The keys that collided
+would then be placed in alphabetical order.  Upon look up a binary search would run
+looking for the specific key.  This would be useful in hash tables that have a lot
+of collisions although it would be harder to configure and set up.
+
+  Coming up with collision resolution strategies was a difficult assignment, as
+many of the most performant and space conscious methods and ideas have already been
+created.  While I know my methods are not perfect I enjoyed thinking about this topic
+and trying to come up with some of my own.
