Data structures and algorithms chapter 1 ppt

What is data structure and algorithms for beginners?
A data structure is a named location that can be used to store and organize data.
And, an algorithm is a collection of steps to solve a particular problem.
Learning data structures and algorithms allow us to write efficient and optimized computer programs..

How do we analyze the performance of algorithms?

The basis of our approach for analyzing the performance of algorithms is the scientific method

We begin by performing computational experiments to measure the running times of our programs

We use these measurements to develop hypotheses about performance

Next, we create mathematical models to explain their behavior

What is a data structure?

• A data structure is a way to store and organize data in order to facilitate the access and modifications

Which data type is used in a percolation problem?

We introduce the union–find data type and consider several implementations (quick find, quick union, weighted quick union, and weighted quick union with path compression)

Finally, we apply the union–find data type to the percolation problem from physical chemistry
