1. A system for the creation, organization, and manipulation of data structures comprising:
- data structure generation means for providing a table including a plurality of data structures, said data structure generation means includes means for providing a list of prime numbers, means for providing a unique data structure for each prime number and means for sorting the data structures to provide the table;
logic processor means coupled to the data structure generation means, for organizing subsets of the table into one of a plurality of data structures including binary trees, linked lists and hierarchical files and for manipulating the subsets according to instructions received from a first calling program; and
interface means coupled to the logic processor means, for receiving instructions from the first calling program, for translating the instructions into a language conforming with the logic processor means and for translating results from the logic processor into a language conforming with the first calling program.

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.

8. A method of manipulating data structures using a memory, interface and processor, comprising the steps of:
-
storing in the memory a table including a plurality of prime numbers and a unique data structure associated with each prime number; receiving in the interface an instruction from a calling procedure; receiving in the processor the instruction;
associating at least a portion of the instruction with at least one of the unique data structures;manipulating in the processor the table according to the instruction; and providing in the interface a response to the instruction, at least a portion of the response being associated with at least one of the unique data structures. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
