Presented
(CS3301) by:Indhumathy U
INTRODUCTION TO
DATA STRUCTURES

Definition: A data structure is a way of organizing and


storing data efficiently.

Types:
- Linear: Arrays, Linked Lists, Stacks, Queues
- Non-Linear:Trees, Graphs
IMPORTANCE OF DATA
STRUCTURES
Efficient data management – Allows fast access
and modification.
Optimized resource utilization – Minimizes
memory and processing overhead.
Enhanced problem-solving – Used in algorithm
development.

Applications:
- Databases
- AI & Machine Learning
- Networking
ARRAYS

Definition: A collection of elements stored at


contiguous memory locations.

Operations:
- Traversal
- Insertion
- Deletion
- Searching

Pros: Fast access (O(1) time complexity)


Cons: Fixed size, costly insert/delete
LINKED LISTS

Definition: A sequence of nodes where each node


contains data and a pointer to the next node.

Types:
- Singly Linked List
- Doubly Linked List
- Circular Linked List

Pros: Dynamic memory allocation


Cons: Extra memory for pointers, slower search
STACKS

Definition: A linear data structure following the


LIFO (Last In, First Out) principle.

Operations:
- Push
- Pop
- Peek
Applications:
- Undo/Redo
- Expression evaluation
- Function call stack
QUEUES

Definition: A linear data structure following the FIFO (First In,


First Out) principle.
Types:
- Simple Queue
- Circular Queue
- Priority Queue
- Deque
Applications:
- Process scheduling
- Task management
TREES

Definition: A hierarchical data structure consisting of nodes.


Types:
- Binary Tree
- Binary Search Tree (BST)
- AVL Tree
- B-Trees
Applications:
- File systems
- AI decision-making
- Database indexing
GRAPHS
Definition: A collection of nodes (vertices) connected by
edges.
Types:
- Directed Graph
- Undirected Graph
- Weighted Graph
Algorithms:
- BFS, DFS, Dijkstra’s Algorithm
Applications:
- Social networks
- Google Maps
HASHING

Definition: A technique to map data to a fixed-size


table.

Collision Handling:
- Chaining
- Open Addressing

Applications:
- Database indexing
- Caching
- Cryptography
SORTING ALGORITHMS

Types:
- O(n²) Algorithms: Bubble Sort, Selection Sort, Insertion Sort
- O(n log n) Algorithms: Merge Sort, Quick Sort, Heap Sort

Applications:
- Optimizing search operations
- Data analysis
SEARCHING
ALGORITHMS

Linear Search: O(n)


Binary Search: O(log n)

Applications:
- Searching in databases
- Indexing systems
