    Study Notes

    Data Structures Basics

    • The purpose of a Data Structure is to efficiently store, manage, and retrieve data.

    Terminology

    • ADT stands for Abstract Data Type, which is a high-level description of a data structure that defines its behavior without specifying its implementation details.

    Lecture Focus

    • The focus of the 'Tools of the Trade I: Efficiency & BigO' lecture is on efficiency and BigO notation.
    • The focus of the 'Tools of the Trade II: Recursion' lecture is on recursion.

    Recursion

    • In the context of data structures, recursion is a programming technique where a function calls itself repeatedly until it reaches a base case that stops the recursion.

    Lecture Topics

    • The topic of the 'Linked Lists' lecture is Linked Lists.
    • The topic of the 'Herarchical Data Structures' lecture is Hierarchical Data Structures.

    Async Lecture

    • The content of the 'Async lecture - Iterative Algorithms and Efficiency' lecture covers iterative algorithms and efficiency.
