Familarisation of Data Structures

Data structures organize data in memory to allow for efficient operations. Common data structures include stacks, queues, and linked lists. Stacks follow a last-in, first-out principle where only the most recently added element can be removed. Queues follow a first-in, first-out principle where the earliest added element is removed first. Linked lists connect nodes containing data using links, allowing for efficient insertion and removal of elements. Basic operations on these data structures include insertion, deletion, searching, and checking emptiness or fullness.

DATA STRUCTURES

: STACK,QUEUE,LINKED LIST

APARNA P,AD HOC FACULTY CSED NITC


 Data Structures are structures programmed to store
ordered data inorder to performs operations easily .

 It represents the knowledge of data to be organized in


Data memory.
structures
 Designed and implemented in such a way that it
reduces the complexity and increases the efficiency.
 Abstract data type(ADT) with a
bounded(predefined) capacity
 Basic operations/features:
1. Insertion or PUSH
Stack 2.Deletion or POP
3. Top
4. Isempty or Underflow
5.Isfull or Overflow
Every time an element is added, it goes on the
top of the stack, the only element that can be
removed is the element that was at the top of
the stack.
Real world
scenario of
Stack

 Stack operations may involve initializing the stack,
using it and then de-initializing it.
1. push() − Pushing (storing) an element on the stack.
2. pop() − Removing (accessing) an element from the
Basic stack.
Operations
 To use a stack efficiently, we need to check the status
of stack as well. For the same purpose, the following
functionality is added to stacks
3. isFull() − check if stack is full.
4. isEmpty() − check if stack is empty
 Queue is also an abstract data type
 The first element is inserted from one end called
REAR(also called tail), and the deletion of existing
element takes place from the other end called as
FRONT(also called head).
 This makes queue as FIFO(First in First Out) data
structure, which means that element inserted first will
Queue also be removed first.
 Queue operations may involve initializing or defining the queue,
utilizing it, and then completely erasing it from the memory. Here
we shall try to understand the basic
operations associated with queues −
Basic 1. enqueue() − add (store) an item to the queue.

Operations 2. dequeue() − remove (access) an item from the queue.


Few more functions are required to make the above-mentioned
queue operation efficient.
These are −
3. isfull() − Checks if the queue is full.
4.isempty() − Checks if the queue is empty.
 A linked list is a sequence of data structures, which are
connected together via links.
Linked list  Linked List is a sequence of links which contains items.
 Each link contains a connection to another link
Linked list
 Types of lists

There are two basic types of linked list


 Singly Linked list
 Doubly linked list
 Singly Linked List

 Each node has only one link part


 Each link part contains the address of the next node in
the list
 Link part of the last node contains NULL value which
signifies the end of the node
 Insertion
Basic  Deletion
operations  Searching
 reversal
 Searching involves finding the required element in the
list
 We can use various techniques of searching like linear
Searching a search or binary search where binary search is more
SLL efficient in case of Arrays

 But in case of linked list since random access is not


available it would become complex to do binary search
in it
 We can perform simple linear search traversal

 In linear search each node is traversed till the data in


the node matches with the required value
1.Doubly linked list is a linked data structure that
consists of a set of sequentially linked records called
nodes.

2. Each node contains three fields ::


- one is data part which contain data only.
- two other field is links part that are point or references
to the previous or to the next node in the sequence of
nodes.
3. The beginning and ending nodes' previous and next
links, respectively.
