Study Notes
Algorithm and Data Structures
- Algorithm and data structures are closely related in a program, as algorithms operate on data structures to solve problems.
- The relationship between the two is represented by the equation 'Algorithm + Data Structures = Program'.
Data Structures
- Data structures are ways to organize and store data in a program to enable efficient access and manipulation.
- Examples of data structures include arrays, linked lists, stacks, and queues.
- The primary purpose of a data structure is to provide an efficient way to store and retrieve data.
- Data structures are essential in solving complex problems with computers, as they enable efficient use of resources and faster execution.
Importance of Data Structures
- Data structures affect the performance and efficiency of a program, as they determine how data is stored and accessed.
- A good choice of data structure can significantly improve the running time of an algorithm.
Algorithms
- Measuring the running time of an algorithm is important to evaluate its efficiency and scalability.
Non-Data Structures
- Files and databases are not examples of data structures, as they are larger storage systems that may contain multiple data structures.
