Data structures and algorithms (DSA) are an important aspect of any

programming language. Every language has its own data structures and
methods for dealing with various types of algorithms.DSA is described as the
mixture of two distinct yet interconnected topics: data structures and
algorithms. DSA is a critical ability that every computer science student must
have. People with good knowledge of these technologies are often better
programmers than others and so pass the interviews of practically every IT
giant.
