Study Notes
Introduction to Data Structures
- Data structures are specialized formats for organizing and storing data.
- Choosing the right data structure is crucial for efficient data access, modification, and manipulation.
- Common data structures include arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, and hash tables.
Arrays
- Arrays are sequences of elements of the same data type.
- Elements are stored contiguously in memory.
- Accessing elements is fast using indexing (e.g., array[0] to get first element).
- Insertion and deletion of elements can be slow.
- Suitable for situations needing fast random access.
Linked Lists
- Linked lists consist of nodes, each containing data and a pointer to the next node.
- Not stored contiguously.
- Insertion and deletion are faster than in arrays.
- Accessing elements sequentially is slower compared to arrays.
- Suitable for situations requiring flexible size and frequent insertions/deletions.
Stacks
- Stacks are LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) data structures.
- Elements are added to (pushed) and removed from (popped) from one end.
- Common applications include function calls, expression evaluation, and undo/redo mechanisms.
Queues
- Queues are FIFO (First-In, First-Out) data structures.
- Elements are inserted at one end (rear) and removed from the other end (front).
- Similar applications to stacks but different ordering.
- Useful for scenarios that require orderly processing of tasks or requests.
Trees
- Trees are hierarchical structures representing data in a parent-child relationship.
- Nodes have parent and child relationships.
- Different types of trees include binary trees, binary search trees, heaps, and balanced trees.
- Search, insertion, and deletion operations have different efficiencies depending on the tree type.
Graphs
- Graphs are structures consisting of nodes (vertices) and edges connecting them.
- Representing relationships between objects or entities.
- Can be directed or undirected, representing one-way or two-way connections.
Hash Tables
- Hash tables use hash functions to map keys to their associated values.
- Fast lookup, insertion, and deletion in ideal cases.
- Performance impacted by hash collisions.
- Useful for situations requiring fast lookups.
Time and Space Complexity
- Data structures differ in their efficiency measured by time and space complexity.
- Time complexity refers to the amount of time taken by an operation.
- Space complexity refers to the amount of memory required.
- Knowing these complexities allows for optimized choice of data structure for a specific task.
Choosing the Right Data Structure
- The choice of data structure depends on the specific needs of a task.
- Factors like data structure properties and expected operations (e.g., access speed, insertion speed) and dataset characteristics (size, density) are crucial to consider for effective implementation.
