Data structures and algorithms are essential in computer science since they play a crucial role in efficient information retrieval and processing, dealing with files, storing contacts on phones, social networks and web searches.

In this course, you’ll learn about the array-based implementation of various linear data structures, stack, and queues. You’ll also learn about linked list-based implementation. Next, you’ll explore advanced data structures like skiplists and hashing. You’ll learn how to implement a variety of trees and graphs, and data structures related to bits of an integer. Toward the end of the course, you’ll learn the implementation of structures based on external storage.

After completing this course, you’ll be able to create reusable programs with template-based collections that can efficiently analyze how to optimize the storage and retrieval of very large amounts of data. Overall, this course will enhance your productivity and performance as a software developer.

The implicit representation of a complete binary tree as an array, or list, seems to have been first proposed by #key# Eytzinger: M. Eytzinger. Thesaurus principum hac aetate in Europa viventium (Cologne). 1590. In commentaries, ‘Eytzinger’ may appear in variant forms, including: Aitsingeri, Aitsingero, Aitsingerum, Eyzingern. #key#. He used this representation in books containing pedigree family trees of noble families. The BinaryHeap data structure described here was first introduced by #key# Williams: J. Williams.
