Study Notes

Data Structures

  • A data structure refers to a way to organize and store data in a computer so that it can be efficiently accessed and manipulated.

Primitive Data Structures

  • Primitive data structures are the basic building blocks of data structures, and they include integers, floats, characters, and booleans.

Arrays

  • Data is stored in an array in a contiguous block of memory, with each element of the array identified by an index or key.

Abstract Data Types

  • Abstract data types are high-level data structures that define a set of operations that can be performed on the data, without specifying how the data is stored.

Primitive Data Structures Characteristics

  • The main characteristic of primitive data structures is that they are not divided into smaller parts and are represented as a single unit.

Client-Side Scripting

  • A characteristic of client-side scripting is that it allows scripts to run on the client-side (web browser) rather than on the server-side.

JavaScript Origin

  • JavaScript was originally developed as Mocha by Netscape in the mid-1990s, and later renamed to JavaScript.

JavaScript vs Java

  • JavaScript is different from the Java programming language in that it is primarily used for client-side scripting on the web, whereas Java is a general-purpose programming language.

Client-Side JavaScript

  • Client-side JavaScript allows you to dynamically manipulate web page elements, such as changing text, image, or layout, in response to user interactions.

Event Handling

  • Client-side JavaScript enables you to respond to events on a web page, such as mouse clicks, hover, or key presses, by executing scripts that perform specific actions.

Test your knowledge on the basics of data structure and algorithms, with a focus on organizing data in memory using arrays in Java. This quiz covers fundamental concepts taught in the 5th semester at Sulaimani Polytechnic University's Technical College of Informatics.
