Study Notes

Data Structures

  • Tree: A hierarchical structure consisting of nodes with a single root node and zero or more child nodes.
  • Graph: A collection of nodes (vertices) connected by edges, which may be directed or undirected.
  • Stack: A linear data structure that follows the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) principle.
  • HashMap: A data structure that stores key-value pairs, allowing fast data retrieval based on the key.

Time Complexity

  • Accessing an element in an array by its index has a time complexity of O(1), meaning it takes constant time regardless of the array size.

Queue Processing Order

  • In a queue, elements are processed in a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) manner, meaning the first element added is the first to be removed.

Insertion and Deletion at Both Ends

  • A Deque (Double-ended Queue) allows insertion and deletion of elements at both the front and rear, unlike stacks and queues which operate at one end.

ArrayList vs. LinkedList in Java

  • ArrayList uses dynamic arrays for storage, while LinkedList relies on doubly linked nodes, affecting performance for inserts and accesses.
  • ArrayList is faster for accessing elements compared to LinkedList, which excels at inserting and removing elements from the beginning.

Primitive Data Types

  • double has a precision of approximately 15 decimal digits, making it suitable for high-precision calculations.
  • short occupies 16 bits (2 bytes) in Java.
  • The int data type has a range of -2^31 to 2^31 - 1, covering a substantial integer range.
  • The size of the long primitive data type in Java is 8 bytes (64 bits).
  • The smallest primitive type in terms of storage is byte, occupying 1 byte (8 bits).
