Collection or Collections may refer to:
Collection is a compilation album written and mostly performed by Mike Oldfield.
In computer science, a collection or container is a grouping of some variable number of data items (possibly zero) that have some shared significance to the problem being solved and need to be operated upon together in some controlled fashion. Generally, the data items will be of the same type or, in languages supporting inheritance, derived from some common ancestor type. A collection is a concept applicable to abstract data types, and does not prescribe a specific implementation as a concrete data structure, though often there is a conventional choice (see Container for type theory discussion).
Some different kinds of collections are lists, sets, multisets, trees and graphs. An enumerated type may be either a list or a set.
Fixed-size arrays (or tables) are usually not considered a collection because they hold a fixed number of data items, although they commonly play a role in the implementation of collections. Variable-size arrays are generally considered collections.
Well this here's the date and year
Collection
Again, it's the date and year
Collection
And well, to understand
You'll have to leave your new (?) man
On the day of the year
Collection
It'll last a year
So drink your beer
It's a collection of a year
Oh my, that's dandy
Keep your eye on Uncle Randy
Oh Randolph, you broke your collarbone
Gee well, here's one more time
Record a line
On the back page
Of the date and year
