This repository contains my practice problems and implementations of various data structures and algorithms in C++.
In computer science, a data structure is a data organization, management, and storage format that is designed to organize data to be accessed and worked with in various ways. It is a collection of data values, the relationships among them, and the functions or operations that can be applied to the data.
Common data structures include:
- Arrays
- Linked Lists
- Stacks
- Queues
- Trees
- Graphs
- Hash Tables
An algorithm is a finite sequence of well-defined, computer-implementable instructions, typically to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation. Algorithms are used as specifications for performing calculations and data processing.
Data structures and algorithms are fundamental concepts in computer science. They are essential for designing and implementing efficient software. Understanding DSA helps in:
- Problem Solving: They provide a framework for solving complex problems.
- Efficiency: Choosing the right data structure and algorithm can significantly improve the performance of an application.
- Interview Preparation: DSA is a crucial topic for technical interviews at major tech companies.
