“An apprentice carpenter may want only hammer and saw,

Aims and but a master craftsman employs many precision tools.
Objectives Computer programming likewise requires sophisticated tools
to cope with complexity of real applications and only practice
with these tools will build skill in their use. (Robert L. Kruse
Data Structure and Program Design)”. This subject deals to
make students convenient in building a memory and time
efficient data structures for the implementation of large-scale
(data intensive) computer systems.
