👉 Copings are a type of data structure that allows for efficient insertion, deletion and retrieval of elements from a collection. Copings are used in various applications such as database management systems (DBMS), network protocols, etc. In a coping, each element is paired with another element to maintain the order of insertion. This allows for efficient querying, updating and retrieving of elements without needing to traverse through all the elements. Copings can be implemented using different data structures like arrays, linked lists or trees
