Data Structures and Algorithms - Lecture Notes

Course: CS101 - Introduction to Computer Science

Instructor: Dr. Alex Kim

Semester: Fall 2024

1. Arrays and Linked Lists

- Arrays: Fixed-size, index-based access, O(1) retrieval, costly insertion/deletion.

- Linked Lists: Dynamic size, O(n) search, O(1) insertion/deletion (with pointer).

2. Stacks and Queues

- Stack: LIFO structure, supports push/pop.

- Queue: FIFO structure, supports enqueue/dequeue.

- Applications: Function calls, BFS, expression evaluation.

3. Trees

- Binary Trees, Binary Search Trees (BST), AVL Trees.

- Operations: Inorder, Preorder, Postorder traversals.

- Applications: Syntax trees, databases, file systems.

4. Hash Tables

- Key-value mapping using hash functions.

- Handling collisions: chaining, open addressing.

- Applications: Caches, dictionaries, sets.

5. Graphs
- Representations: Adjacency list/matrix.

- Traversals: DFS, BFS.

- Applications: Social networks, maps, dependency graphs.
