There are two key points I want this example to show. Firstly, classes are complex and useful for putting big things into the memory. As a consequence, they take more time and effort to build than the previous structures we’ve seen.

Secondly, this class includes a link to the next instance of the class, thus forming a linked list. Classes are only useful if you are going to be remembering a number of them, so they will always be collected in a structure. If that structure is a linked list, then the linked list’s implicit links should be explicitly in the class structure to avoid one of the class links dominating the link for the linked list. Normally I’m happy for a linked list link to in anyway dominate or ‘beat’ the previous keyword, but I’ve specifically made it ‘destroy’ in this example. The narrower definition reduces the likelihood of confusion, but does make it slightly more work to create the link.80

So far, this chapter has introduced the idea of classes and shown how they can solve the issue of linking several pieces of information to one keyword. It’s easy to imagine this linked list of ‘inventors’ expanding dramatically with whatever you are interested in.

Part of the reason to write this book was to point out to the memory community that information generally has a structure and that everything is much easier when you can match that structure in your own memory (we’ll see this explicitly with trees in Chapter 6). The events chosen for the World Memory Championships, and written about in general, focus entirely on simple lists, missing out on all the rich variety of the real world.

Classes are a major tool for us in properly matching real world structures.
