DATA STRUCTURES

This book, titled “Data Structures,” provides a comprehensive exploration of how data is organized, stored, and manipulated within computer programs. It delves into fundamental concepts like abstraction, efficiency, and complexity in data structures, detailing various types such as arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees (including binary, AVL, and B-trees), graphs, and hash tables. The text also covers advanced data structures like heaps, tries, and skip lists. Furthermore, it examines the critical relationship between data structures and algorithms, discussing real-world applications across different computing domains and emphasizing performance considerations, including time and space complexity, and scalability. The book aims to build knowledge progressively, integrating theoretical concepts with practical examples.
