    Study Notes

    Data Structures

    • A tree consists of nodes connected by edges; nodes are represented as circles.
    • Non-primitive data structures include linear data structures like arrays, stacks, linked lists, and queues.

    Graphs

    • Graphs are collections of nodes and edges, representing logical relations between nodes.
    • Types of graphs include:
      • Undirected Graph
      • Multi Graph
      • Simple Graph
      • Directed Graph
      • Mixed Graph
      • Null Graph
      • Weighted Graph

    Linear vs Non-Linear Data Structures

    • Linear Data Structures:
      • Every item is related sequentially to its predecessor and successor.
      • Data can be traversed in a single run.
      • Examples: Arrays, Stacks, Linked Lists, Queues.
      • Easier implementation.
    • Non-Linear Data Structures:
      • Items are connected to multiple other items, not in sequence.
      • Examples: Trees, Graphs.
      • Complex implementation.

    Operations on Data Structures

    • Create: Reserves memory for program elements.
    • Destroy: Deallocates memory space for specified data structure.
    • Selection: Accesses a particular piece of data within a structure.
    • Traversing: Visits every node systematically.
    • Updation: Modifies existing data.
    • Searching: Locates a specific value within a structure.
    • Sorting: Arranges values in a defined order.
    • Inserting: Adds a new value to the structure.
    • Deleting: Removes a value from the structure.
    • Splitting: Partitions a single list into multiple lists.
    • Merging: Joins two data structures of the same type.

    Arrays in C

    • Arrays store multiple variables of the same type in contiguous memory.
    • To declare an array: datatype arrayName[arraySize];
    • Example of initialization: int numbers[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    • Elements are accessed using their index, starting from 0.
    • For iteration, a loop (typically a for loop) is commonly used.

    Multi-dimensional Arrays

    • C supports multi-dimensional arrays, such as two-dimensional arrays (matrices).
    • Example declaration: 
      int matrix[3][3] = {
    {1, 2, 3},
    {4, 5, 6},
    {7, 8, 9}
};

    Key Points About Arrays

    • Fixed size is determined at compile-time; cannot alter size at runtime.
    • Elements are stored in contiguous memory locations for efficient access.
    • C does not perform bounds checking; accessing out-of-bounds can cause errors.

    Structures and Unions

    • A structure in C is a user-defined data type that groups items of varying types.
    • Defined using the struct keyword.
    • Example structure: 
      struct structure_name {
    data_type member_name1;
    data_type member_name2;
};

    Dynamic Memory Allocation in C

    • Functions for dynamic memory allocation include malloc(), calloc(), free(), and realloc().
    • malloc(): Allocates memory.
    • free(): deallocates previously allocated memory.
    • realloc(): Changes the size of previously allocated memory while retaining values.

    Representation of Arrays in Memory

    • Linear arrays are stored in contiguous memory; the address of an element can be calculated.
    • Example for integer array with base address:
      • arr[0] at address 0x1000 contains value 10.
    • Accessing can be done by index or via pointers.

    Algorithm Analysis

    • Algorithms are systematic instructions for solving tasks, fundamental to implementing data structures.
    • Analysis of algorithms compares performance based on:
      • Input Size: Number of items or graph vertices/edges.
      • Time Complexity: Count of elementary operations.
      • Space Complexity: Amount of memory required.
      • Best, Average, and Worst Case scenarios.
      • Order of Growth: Describes how the algorithm's runtime grows as input size increases.
