    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.
