Questions and Answers

What is the primary focus of DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms)?

  • Creating user interfaces
  • Designing network protocols
  • Efficient methods for organizing, accessing, and manipulating data (correct)
  • Developing computer hardware

    • Why are data structures essential in computer science?
