Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) - Basic

Notes

1. Introduction to DSA

• Data Structures organize and store data efficiently.

• Algorithms are step-by-step procedures used to solve problems.

• DSA helps write efficient and optimized programs.

2. Types of Data Structures

• Linear Data Structures: Array, Linked List, Stack, Queue.

• Non-Linear Data Structures: Tree and Graph.

3. Common Data Structures

• Array – Collection of elements stored in contiguous memory.

• Linked List – Collection of nodes connected with pointers.

• Stack – Follows LIFO (Last In First Out).

• Queue – Follows FIFO (First In First Out).

• Tree – Hierarchical data structure.

• Graph – Represents networks and relationships.

4. Searching Algorithms

• Linear Search – Checks each element sequentially.

• Binary Search – Efficient search on sorted data.

5. Sorting Algorithms

• Bubble Sort

• Selection Sort

• Insertion Sort

• Merge Sort

• Quick Sort
6. Time Complexity

• O(1) – Constant Time

• O(n) – Linear Time

• O(log n) – Logarithmic Time

• O(n²) – Quadratic Time

7. Applications of DSA

• Software Development

• Database Systems

• Operating Systems

• Artificial Intelligence

• Web Development
