Learning Outcomes
 The main things we will learn in this course:
• To think algorithmically and get the spirit of how
algorithms are designed .
• To learn a number of algorithm design techniques
(such as divide-and-conquer)
• To analyze (in a precise and formal way) the efficiency
and the correctness of algorithms.

What is Data and information ?
 Data is a value or set of values that has no implied
meaning until it is associated with a particicular
attribute .Example 81.6,85.1---------- are data

• Meaning full or processed data is called information.

• An ENTITY is something that has certain attributes or


properties which may be assigned values. The values may
be either numeric or nonnumeric.
• EXAMPLE student,employee
Entity Set
 Collection of entities that contains the same attributes.
 Examples
Entity Name ID # Weight
emp1 John 1111 160
emp2 Smith 2222 115
emp3 Brown 3333 120

DATA ITEM: It refers to a single unit of values.


* Elementary data item
* Group data item
Primary key:
It uniquely determine the records in file.
What are Algorithm about
Solving problems in everyday life
• Travel from Bolzano to Munich
• Cook Spaghetti
For all these problems, there are
• Instructions
• Recipes
• Procedures
Which describe a complex operation in terms of
• elementary operations
• control structures and conditions
Algorithms
Outline, the essence of a computational procedure,
step-by-step instructions
An algorithm is a sequence of unambiguous instructions
for solving a problem, i.e.,
• for obtaining a required output in a finite amount of
time.
PROGRAM
Implementation of an algorithm in some programming
language .
Preconditions, Postconditions
Specify preconditions and postconditions of algorithms:
Precondition:
• What does the algorithm get as input?
Postcondition:
• What does the algorithm produce as output?
• … how does this relate to the input?
Properties of algorithms:
• Correctness, Termination, Run time
What is Data Structure?
 Data structure is a representation of data and the
operations allowed on that data.

• A data structure is a way to store and organize data in


order to facilitate the access and modifications.

• Data Structure are the method of representing of logical


relationships between individual data elements related to
the solution of a given problem.

Selection of Data Structure
 The choice of particular data model depends on
two consideration:
 It must be rich enough in structure to represent the
relationship between data elements
 The structure should be simple enough that one can
effectively process the data when necessary
Types of Data Structure
 Linear: In Linear data structure, values are arrange in linear
fashion.
 Array: Fixed-size
 Linked-list: Variable-size
 Stack: Add to top and remove from top
 Queue: Add to back and remove from front
 Priority queue: Add anywhere, remove the highest
priority
Types of Data Structure
 Non-Linear: The data values in this structure are not
arranged in order.
 Hash tables: Unordered lists which use a ‘hash function’ to insert
and search
 Tree: Data is organized in branches.
 Graph: A more general branching structure, with less strict
connection conditions than for a tree
Type of Data Structures
 Homogenous: In this type of data structures, values of the
same types of data are stored.
 Array

 Non-Homogenous: In this type of data structures, data


values of different types are grouped and stored.
 Structures
 Classes
Abstract Data Type and Data Structure
 Definition:-
 Abstract Data Types (ADTs) stores data and allow various
operations on the data to access and change it.
 A mathematical model, together with various operations defined on
the model
 An ADT is a collection of data and associated operations for
manipulating that data

 Data Structures
 Physical implementation of an ADT
 data structures used in implementations are provided in a language
(primitive or built-in) or are built from the language constructs (user-
defined)
 Each operation associated with the ADT is implemented by one
or more subroutines in the implementation
Abstract Data Type
 ADTs support abstraction, encapsulation, and information
hiding.

 Abstraction is the structuring of a problem into well-


defined entities by defining their data and operations.

 The principle of hiding the used data structure and to only


provide a well-defined interface is known as encapsulation.
The Core Operations of ADT
 Every Collection ADT should provide a way to:
 add an item
 remove an item
 find, retrieve, or access an item

 Many, many more possibilities


 is the collection empty
 make the collection empty
 give me a sub set of the collection
• No single data structure works well for all purposes, and so
it is important to know the strengths and limitations of
several of them
Stacks
 Collection with access only to the last element inserted
 Last in first out
Data4 Top
 insert/push
 remove/pop Data3

 top Data2
 make empty
Data1
Queues
 Collection with access only to the item that has been
present the longest
 Last in last out or first in first out
 enqueue, dequeue, front
 priority queues and dequeue
Front Back

Data1 Data2 Data3 Data4


List
 A Flexible structure, because can grow and
shrink on demand.
Elements can be:
 Inserted
 Accessed
 Deleted
At any position
last
first
Tree
 A Tree is a collection of elements called nodes.
 One of the node is distinguished as a root, along with a
relation (“parenthood”) that places a hierarchical structure
on the nodes.
Root
Example of tree in terms of
level number
Tree of arithmetic expression
(2x+y)(a-7b) 3
GRAPH
Pictorial representation of any information is called
graph.

Data Structure Operations
1.TRAVERSING
Accessing each record exactly once .
It means find something from data.
2. INSERTING
Adding new record
3. DELETING
Removing record.
4. SEARCHING
Finding data
Data Structure Operations
5. Sorting
Arranging.
6.Merging
Combining Data.
COMPLEXITY
 The complexity of an algorithm is the function which
gives the running time or space in terms of input size.
