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).
