  • Data Structures are a way of storing and organizing data in a computer.
  • Algorithms are a way of working with data in a computer and solving problems like sorting, searching, etc.

Introduction

Note: Data Structures is about how data can be stored in different structures. Algorithms is about how to solve different problems, often by searching through and manipulating data structures. Understanding DSA helps you to find the best combination of Data Structures and Algorithms to create more efficient code.

Data Structures

Data Structures are a way of storing and organizing data in a computer.

Python has built-in support for several data structures, such as lists, dictionaries, and sets.

Other data structures can be implemented using Python classes and objects, such as linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs.

In this tutorial we will concentrate on these Data Structures:

  • Lists and Arrays
  • Stacks
  • Queues
  • Linked Lists
  • Hash Tables
  • Trees Binary Trees Binary Search Trees AVL Trees
  • Binary Trees
  • Binary Search Trees
  • AVL Trees
  • Graphs

Algorithms

Algorithms are a way of working with data in a computer and solving problems like sorting, searching, etc.

In this tutorial we will concentrate on these search and sort Algorithms:

  • Linear Search
  • Binary Search
  • Bubble Sort
  • Selection Sort
  • Insertion Sort
  • Quick Sort
  • Counting Sort
  • Radix Sort
  • Merge Sort
