Data Structures – Unit-wise Syllabus (Paragraph Format)

UNIT I – Introduction
This unit introduces the basic concepts of data structures and algorithms. It covers the
definition of data structures and various data structure operations. The unit also explains
algorithms, their complexity, and the time–space trade-off. Students learn about the
complexity of algorithms, asymptotic notations used to represent algorithm complexity,
sub-algorithms, variables, and data. This unit forms the foundation for understanding
efficient problem-solving techniques.

UNIT II – Arrays, Linked Lists, Stacks and Queue


This unit focuses on linear data structures such as arrays, linked lists, stacks, and queues. It
begins with an introduction to linear arrays, their representation in memory, and address
calculation using row-major and column-major ordering. The unit discusses traversing,
inserting, and deleting elements in linear arrays and explains multidimensional arrays,
including the memory representation of two-dimensional arrays. Concepts of pointers,
pointer arrays, matrices, and sparse matrices are also covered in detail.

The linear lists section explains linked lists and their memory representation. It covers
operations such as traversing and searching a linked list, memory allocation, garbage
collection, overflow and underflow conditions, insertion and deletion operations, circular
linked lists, doubly linked lists, and header linked lists.

The stacks and queues section introduces stacks and their array and linked representations.
It includes Polish notation, evaluation of postfix expressions, and conversion of infix
expressions to postfix form. The queues section explains the definition and implementation
of queues using arrays and linked lists, circular queues, priority queues, and double-ended
queues.

UNIT III – Trees


This unit introduces tree data structures and their applications. It covers the definition of
trees, tree terminology, and binary trees. The unit explains the representation of binary
trees in memory and different methods of traversing binary trees, including preorder,
inorder, and postorder traversals. Traversal algorithms are also discussed to help
understand hierarchical data representation.
