23CS02 - DATA STRUCTURES (Theory)

Data Structures is a fundamental subject in computer science that deals with organizing, storing, and managing data efficiently. It helps in performing operations such as insertion, deletion, searching, and sorting in an optimized way.


PREREQUISITE: C Programming Language

COURSE OUTCOMES (COs): At the end of the course, students will be able to

  • CO1: Understand the role of linear and nonlinear data structures in organizing and accessing data.
  • CO2: Implement abstract data type (ADT) and data structures for given application.
  • CO3: Design algorithms based on techniques like linked list, stack, queue, trees etc.
  • CO4: Apply the appropriate linear and nonlinear data structure techniques for solving a problem.
  • CO5: Design hash-based solutions for specific problem.

UNIT-1:  Introduction to Linear Data Structures: Definition and importance of linear data structures, Abstract data types (ADTs) and their implementation, Overview of time and space complexity analysis for linear data structures. Searching Techniques: Linear & Binary Search, Sorting Techniques: Bubble sort, Selection sort, Insertion Sort

      23CS52 - DATA STRUCTURES (Lab)

      Data Structures Lab is designed to provide hands-on experience in implementing and analyzing various data structures using the C programming language. Through a series of practical exercises, students learn to implement both linear and non-linear data structures such as arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and hashing techniques.
