Introduction
Explore the fundamental role of data structures and algorithms in computer science. Understand how C++ implements these structures using templates and classes, and see their importance in real-world applications like file systems, contact lookup, social networks, and web searches. Gain a clear overview of the course content and what to expect as you advance.
We'll cover the following...
Every computer science curriculum in the world includes a course on data structures and algorithms. Data structures are that important; they improve our quality of life and even save lives on a regular basis. Many multi-million and several multi-billion dollar companies have been built around data structures. The course contains executable programs in C++ comprising templates, classes, and sample drivers to demonstrate the working of each data structure and related methods.
Real-world examples
If we stop to think about it, we’ll realize that we interact with data structures constantly.
- Open a file: File system data structures are used to locate the parts of that file on disk so they can be
