    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 char and String types.
    • 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.
