    Study Notes

    Top Coding Languages

    • PHP is the most used coding language with 25% usage.
    • GO is the second most used language with 22% usage.
    • HTML is the third most used language with 20% usage.
    • Java is the fourth most used language with 10% usage.
    • JavaScript is the fifth most used language with 8% usage.
    • Python is the sixth most used language with 5% usage.

    Family Feud

    • Family Feud is a popular game show.
    • Family Feud is a game where two families compete to guess the most popular answers to survey questions.
    • The game show involves multiple rounds.
    • Each round is based on a survey question with a set of possible correct answers.
    • Each family must guess the answers in order.

    Visualizations

    • The text above is a visual representation of the top coding languages.
    • Family Feud is also a visual representation of the game show.

    Data Structure Traversal

    • Traversal is the process of systematically visiting, checking, and processing each element, node, or item within a data structure.
    • This allows users to view, modify, or analyze all elements in the data structure.

    Types of Traversal

    • Traversal methods are generally categorized as Iterative or Recursive.
    • Iterative traversal involves using loops to visit each element.
    • Recursive traversal involves using functions that call themselves (known as recursion) to visit each element.

    Uses of Traversal

    • Traversal is used for a variety of purposes in computer science and software development, including:
    • Searching for Specific Data: Traversal helps locate specific elements in a data structure.
    • Sorting Data: Traversal is used for sorting elements in a specific order, such as alphabetical, numerical, or by criteria.
    • Data Aggregation and Manipulation: Traversal helps in summarizing or modifying data elements stored in a data structure.
    • Tree Processing: Traversal plays a crucial role in processing trees, which are hierarchical data structures. This includes tasks such as inserting, deleting, and searching for nodes within a tree.
    • Memory Management: Traversal is used in managing memory, finding available memory blocks, and managing the allocation of memory.
    • Exploring Graphs: Traversal allows for exploring the connections among nodes in a graph.
    • Handling Serialization: Traversal is used in the serialization process of converting a data structure into a format that can be stored or transmitted.

    Traversals For Different Data Structures

    • The text describes how to implement traversal for stacks, queues, graphs, and trees, which are all common data structures found in computer science and programming.

    Debugging Methods: length() and str()

    • The length() method is used to count the total number of nodes present in a linked list. It systematically traverses the list starting from the head, incrementing the count for each node it visits.
    • The str() method is a special method used to define a string representation of an object. It defines what is displayed when the print() function is used. You can use the length() and str() methods to help debug your code.

    Insert() and Delete() Methods

    • Insert() and Delete() methods are used to add and remove elements from a data structure like a linked list

    Deletion Methods:

    • For data structures like binary trees, it is important to keep the information sorted.
    • In a binary search tree, deletion can be broken down into two main types:
      • Lazy Deletion: Instead of immediately removing deleted nodes, it just marks them as deleted, but the nodes still exist and take up memory. This simplifies the deletion logic, but requires cleanup later.
      • Deletion with Rebalancing: This approach involves maintaining the balance of the binary tree. This type improves the efficiency of the data structure but may increase memory usage and time complexity.

    Binary Tree/Binary Search Tree Deletion

    • Deletion in a binary search tree involves removing nodes while maintaining the tree's structure.
    • The nodes in a binary search tree are organized so that the key value of a left node is less than its parent, and the key value of a right node is greater than its parent.
    • When deleting a node, it is crucial to maintain this sorting property.

    Where to Use Deletion with Rebalancing:

    • This type of deletion for binary trees is essential when preserving the order of the tree is important for performance.
    • It is often used in data structures such as:
      • AVL Trees
      • Red-Black Trees
      • B-Trees
    • These structures maintain balance, ensuring efficient search operations and data retrieval.
