Explain to me like I'm 5, what the pros/con are each data_structure/algorithm

[BaReinhard]

Create a file in the descriptions folder, choose one data_structure or algorithm and give a brief explanation of what the pros and cons are (like I'm 5). Then explain in deep details the pros and cons of the structure, giving the best descriptions possible.

Files Structure:

/descriptions/data_structure.md
ex: /descriptions/breadth_first_search.md

File Content Structure:

## ELI5
Some text explaining the algorithm to someone who is 5 aka not too technical, but should explain enough
### Pros
* Pros
### Cons
* Cons

## Technical Explanation
Some text explaining in greater detail.
### Pros
* Pros
### Cons
* Cons

May I work on it?
If yes, how long the explanation should be?

I would also like to add some descriptions if that's okay

Let's just wait for @BaReinhard to be online.

Anyone can work on it. The length isn't important but it should be as detailed as possible to gain a full understanding of the algorithm or data structure.

@BaReinhard When will you close this issue? Would you close it after I PR a 6 algorithm/data structure description? Because, as far as I know, Hacktoberfest counts a PR as a contribution if it closes an issue (tell me if I am wrong).

@BaReinhard I'm interested in working on it.
@mhdsmr2 Let us divide the data structures and finish all descriptions.

[m-sameer]

So how we gonna divide it?

[m-sameer]

Yeah, great!

Hey, @BaReinhard, Can you have a look at my forked repo and see the explanation of Binary Search and tell me if I did explain it well enough.

@BaReinhard @m-sameer Could you review my work for HashTable and see if it is okay to merge? :)
