Why can’t they be studied in isolation?
Data structures and algorithms are often taught as separate subjects, but that separation can be misleading. They are not independent concepts. They represent two aspects of the same design decision. The data structure you choose determines which algorithms are possible, practical, or optimal. The algorithm you ...
