Overview

Quick Use
- •Read
references/custom-data-structures.mdbefore answering. - •Emphasize that arrays are immutable; use
Felt252Dictfor mutable storage. - •Call out
Destructimplementations for structs containing dictionaries.
Response Checklist
- •Define a trait interface for the structure's operations.
- •Store values in a
Felt252Dictand tracklenseparately when emulating vectors. - •Use
Nullablewhen storing genericTin a dict. - •Implement
Destructtosquash()dictionaries.
