About this course

Data structures provide a means to manage large amounts of data for use in databases and internet indexing services. Efficient data structures are key for designing efficient algorithms and obtaining maintainable software design.
In this Computer Science course, you will start by learning basic data types, such as numbers, and gradually build a conceptual framework for organizing and managing efficient structures.
Topics covered:
Basic Data Types, Notion of an Abstract Data Type
Mathematical Properties of Sequences
Special Types of Sequences: Stacks, Queues, Strings
Implementation of Sequence Type: Arrays and Linked Lists
Trees
Sets and Maps
Graphs
Preliminary understanding of implementing sequence structures such as stacks, queues, and linked lists, will also be covered.
