Study Notes
Java Data Types and Classes
- BigInteger: Represents large integers exceeding the range of primitive types.
- String: Format used to store and manipulate collections of characters.
- long: Data type for representing 64-bit signed integers.
- BigDecimal: Class for arbitrary-precision decimal numbers, ideal for high-precision calculations.
-
Unicode: Default character encoding format for
charandStringtypes. - byte[]: Data type for storing a sequence of bytes, commonly for binary data.
- double: Represents a 64-bit floating-point number for high-precision computations.
Goals of Data Representation
- BigInteger: Represents arbitrarily large integers that exceed primitive types.
- char: Represents individual 16-bit Unicode characters.
- String: Stores and manipulates sequences of characters (text).
- BigDecimal: Performs high-precision arithmetic with decimal numbers, especially in finance.
- boolean: Represents true/false values for logical operations.
- byte[]: Stores binary data, such as files or network streams.
- long: Represents whole numbers with a fixed 64-bit range.
- double: Represents floating-point numbers for scientific calculations.
Algorithm Complexity
- Time Complexity: Measures execution time relative to input size.
- Space Complexity: Refers to the amount of memory an algorithm requires.
- Big-O Notation: Describes the worst-case time complexity of an algorithm.
- Best-Case Time Complexity: The time taken under the most favorable input conditions.
- Exponential Time Complexity (O(2ⁿ)): Considered inefficient for large inputs due to rapid growth.
- Amortized Time Complexity: Reflects average performance over a series of operations.
Classification of Data Structures
- Array: Linear data structure allowing access by index.
- Queue: Data structure that follows First-In-First-Out (FIFO) principle.
- Linked List: Elements point to the next one, creating a chain.
- Tree: Non-linear structure representing hierarchical relationships.
- HashSet: Stores unique elements without specific order; allows constant-time operations.
- Stack: Follows Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) principle for adding/removing elements.
- HashMap: Efficiently maps unique keys to corresponding values.
- Deque (Double-ended Queue): Supports efficient insertion/deletion from both ends.
- TreeMap: Ensures elements are arranged in a sorted order based on key values.
Java Primitive Data Types
- char: Represents a single 16-bit Unicode character.
- float: Represents a 32-bit floating-point number.
- boolean: Java keyword for true/false values.
Multiple Choice Insights
- Linear data structures include Stack, Queue, Linked List, and Deque.
- Accessing an element in an array by index has O(1) time complexity.
- The primary advantage of hash tables is efficient access through key-value pairs.
- Trees enable efficient searching and hierarchical organization.
True or False Statements
- An algorithm must produce correct outputs for all valid inputs: True.
- Algorithms can be implemented in any programming language: True.
- A recursive algorithm breaks problems into smaller instances of the same problem: True.
- Greedy algorithms do not always provide optimal solutions: True.
