Data Structures and Algorithms Quiz

Elements are arranged sequentially in a single line, like an array or linked list. Each element points to the next one.

Elements are not arranged in a sequential order. Relationships may be complex, like a tree or graph.

Basic data types like integers, floats, and characters, directly managed by the computer hardware.

Data structures built from primitive data types to organize and manage data more efficiently, like arrays, lists, and trees.

A measure of how the runtime of an algorithm scales with the input size.

A technique where a function calls itself to solve a smaller version of the same problem.

A way to organize and store data in a computer so that it can be used efficiently.

A system where multiple users share a single CPU and memory concurrently.

New users are added by initiating a login session or by other authentication methods.

A way of representing real numbers in a computer using a sign, exponent, and mantissa.

Representing both positive and negative numbers with similar sign and magnitude but can have two zeros and issues during addition and subtraction.

A mathematical technique for performing arithmetic operations on integers, especially negative integers.

Iterative methods use loops, while recursive methods use function calls to solve a problem.
