Description
This course offers a deep dive into the world of data structures, a foundational aspect of computer science and programming. It is designed for beginners looking to strengthen their understanding of how data can be organized, stored, and accessed efficiently. The course covers the basics about data, the need for a data structures, its types and a variety of fundamental data structures such as arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, hash tables, and graphs.Participants will explore the properties and applications of each data structure, learning how to implement them in real-world scenarios. Emphasis is placed on understanding when and why to use particular structures to optimize algorithm performance. The course includes hands-on coding exercises and problem-solving sessions to reinforce theoretical concepts with practical experience. The course also explains how a particular data structure is used in solving a problem.By the end of the course, learners will be equipped with the knowledge to select the right data structure for any given problem, improve the efficiency of their code, and develop more sophisticated algorithms. This course is ideal for aspiring programmers, computer science students, or anyone who wants to build a solid foundation in data structures to advance their programming skills.
