What are the different types of data structures and algorithms?

Data Structures

  • Arrays: A collection of elements of the same data type stored in contiguous memory locations.
  • Linked Lists: A collection of nodes linked together by pointers.
  • Stacks: A LIFO (last-in, first-out) data structure where elements are added to the top and removed from the top.
  • Queues: A FIFO (first-in, first-out) data structure where elements are added to the rear and removed from the front.
  • Trees: A hierarchical data structure that can be sorted.
  • Graphs: A collection of nodes and edges that connect them.

Algorithms

  • Sorting algorithms: Algorithms for sorting data, such as bubble sort, insertion sort, and merge sort.
  • Searching algorithms: Algorithms for finding specific data in a data structure, such as binary search and linear search.
  • Graph algorithms: Algorithms for traversing and analyzing graphs, such as breadth-first search and depth-first search.
  • Dynamic programming algorithms: Algorithms that solve problems by breaking them down into smaller subproblems.
  • Backtracking algorithms: Algorithms that explore all possible solutions to a problem systematically.
  • Search algorithms: Algorithms that use a specific search strategy to find a target value in a data structure.
  • Sorting algorithms: Algorithms that use a specific sorting criterion to order a data structure.
