Core Data Relationships
- The main question in the data lens is to identify relationships among data values.
- Common relationships include alternatives (choose one) and combinations (multiple choices combined).

- Study your programming language for constructs that encode data relationships naturally.
- Choose types or collections that closely match the data relationship you identified.
