As to me element (1,2,3,4,5,6) is the same like (3,1,5,6,2,4) or any other combination of those indeces and I created and counted the elements (output in Excel, I checked the numbers) I actually SEE MaxIndex being that value.
Using linked lists will double (at least) the memory usage and also (at least) lookup time (important as I have to access the elements millions of times).
What I actually want is being able to calculate the position of each individual element so that for a given combination of indices I can retrieve the individual element very fast without the need for SEARCHING.
Any help will be appreciated
