 5.CODING

The practical implementation of DSA concepts in Python was a key part of this internship. Here, I
showcase the application of DSA techniques in stock price prediction as a case study.

1.Stock Price Prediction

Step 1: Data Preprocessing Using Sorting and Queues

Preprocessing involved sorting historical data and using a queue-based algorithm to calculate moving
averages.

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from collections import deque

# Load historical stock price data

data = pd.read_csv('stock_prices.csv') # Replace with actual dataset
data['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(data['Date'])
data = data.sort_values(by='Date') # Sorting data by date

# Calculate moving average using a queue

def moving_average(prices, window_size):
result = []
queue = deque()
total = 0

for i in range(len(prices)):
total += prices[i]
queue.append(prices[i])
if len(queue) > window_size:
total -= queue.popleft()
 if i >= window_size - 1:
result.append(total / window_size)
return result

data['Moving_Avg'] = moving_average(data['Close'], window_size=5)

print(data.head())

Step 2: Predicting Stock Prices Using Dynamic Programming

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Prepare data for prediction

data['Target'] = data['Close'].shift(-1) # Predict next day's price
data.dropna(inplace=True)

X = data[['Close', 'Moving_Avg']].values
y = data['Target'].values

# Split data into training and testing sets

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

# Train a simple linear regression model

model = LinearRegression()
model.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Make predictions
predictions = model.predict(X_test)

# Plot results
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
plt.plot(range(len(y_test)), y_test, label='Actual Prices', color='blue')
plt.plot(range(len(predictions)), predictions, label='Predicted Prices', color='red')
plt.legend()
plt.title('Stock Price Prediction')
plt.show()
