2. Data structure:
Data Structure can be defined as the group of
data elements which provides an efficient way
of storing and organizing data in the computer
so that it can be used efficiently.
3. Applications:
• Data Structures are widely used in almost every
aspect of Computer Science i.e. Operating
System, Compiler Design, Artificial intelligence,
Graphics and many more.
• Data Structures are the main part of many
computer science algorithms as they enable the
programmers to handle the data in an efficient
way.
• It plays a vital role in enhancing the performance
of a software or a program as the main function
of the software is to store and retrieve the user's
data as fast as possible
5. Primitive datatype:
• Primitive data types are predefined types of
data, which are supported by the
programming language.
• integer, character, & string are all primitive
data types.
6. Type Storage size Value range
char 1 byte -128 to 127 or 0 to 255
unsigned char 1 byte 0 to 255
signed char 1 byte -128 to 127
int 2 or 4 bytes
-32,768 to 32,767 or -2,147,483,648 to
2,147,483,647
unsigned int 2 or 4 bytes 0 to 65,535 or 0 to 4,294,967,295
short 2 bytes -32,768 to 32,767
unsigned short 2 bytes 0 to 65,535
long 4 bytes -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
unsigned long 4 bytes 0 to 4,294,967,295
DATA TYPES & RANGE
7. Algorithm:
• It is a step by step procedure,which defines
the collection of set of well defined
instructions to perform a specific task.
• Every task or program In any language has a
specific algorithm.
8. Example:
TASK− Design an algorithm to add two numbers
and display the result
• Step 1 − START
• Step 2 − declare three integers a, b & c
• Step 3 − define values of a & b
• Step 4 − add values of a & b
• Step 5 − store output of step 4 to c
• Step 6 − print c
• Step 7 − STOP
9. Non primitive:
• Non-primitive data types are not defined by
the programming language, but are instead
created by the programmer.
• They are sometimes called "reference
variables," or "object references," since they
reference a memory location, which stores the
data.
• In datastructures they classified into two
10. Static Datastructure:
• In Static data structure the size of the structure is fixed.
Dynamic Datastructure:
• In Dynamic data structure the size of the structure in
not fixed and can be modified during the operations
performed on it
11. Arrays in Datastructures
• An array is a collection of values of same datatype
stored at contiguous memory locations.
• It is used to store the multiple values of same
datatype together
• It easier to calculate the position of each element &
simply adding and subtracting to a base value is
possible
Syntax:
data_type array_name [array_size];
12. Linked list:
• A linked list is a linear data structure, in which
the elements are not stored at contiguous
memory locations.
• The elements in a linked list are linked using
pointers
13. Singly linked list:
• Each node has data and a pointer is assigned
to the next node.
Doubly Linked List:
A Doubly Linked List (DLL) contains an extra
pointer, typically called previous pointer,
together with next pointer and data which are
there in singly linked list.
14. Circular Linked List:
• A circular linked list is a variation of linked list
in which the last element is linked to the first
element. This forms a circular loop.
15. STACK:
• Stack is a linear data structure which follows a
particular order in which the operations are
performed.
• The order may be LIFO(Last In First Out) or
FILO(First In Last Out).
•
16. Queue
• A Queue is a linear structure which follows a
particular order in which the operations are
performed.
• The order is First In First Out (FIFO).
17. ::Trees::
• Tree is a hierarchical data structure which stores the
information naturally in the form of hierarchy style.
• It represents the nodes connected by edges.
Tree Terminology
• Node
• Root
• Parent
• Child
18. Binary tree:
A binary tree is a tree data structure in which each node
has at most two children, which are referred to as the left
child and the right child.
There are four types of binary tree:
1. Full Binary Tree
2. Complete Binary Tree
3. Skewed Binary Tree
4. Extended Binary Tree
19. Graphs:
• A Graph is a non-linear data structure
consisting of nodes and edges.
• The nodes are sometimes also referred to as
vertices and the edges are lines or arcs.
