1. Introduction to Data Structures

Data structures are a way of organizing and storing data efficiently. They are essential for
algorithms and problem-solving.

**Types of Data Structures:**


1. Linear Data Structures (Arrays, Linked Lists, Stacks, Queues)
2. Non-Linear Data Structures (Trees, Graphs)
3. Hashing (Hash Tables, Hash Functions)
2. Arrays and Strings

**Arrays** are a collection of elements stored in contiguous memory locations.

**Types of Arrays:**
- One-dimensional arrays
- Multi-dimensional arrays (2D, 3D arrays)

**Common Operations on Arrays:**


- Traversing
- Insertion
- Deletion
- Searching
- Sorting

**Strings in C:** Strings are arrays of characters ending with a null character '\0'.
3. Linked Lists

A **linked list** is a dynamic data structure where each element (node) contains data and a
pointer to the next node.

**Types of Linked Lists:**


- Singly Linked List
- Doubly Linked List
- Circular Linked List

**Basic Operations:**
- Insertion (At Beginning, Middle, End)
- Deletion (First Node, Last Node, Specific Node)
- Traversing
4. Stacks

A **stack** is a linear data structure that follows the **LIFO (Last In, First Out)** principle.

**Operations on Stack:**
- Push (Insert an element)
- Pop (Remove an element)
- Peek (View the top element)

**Stack Implementation in C:**


- Using Arrays
- Using Linked Lists
5. Queues

A **queue** follows the **FIFO (First In, First Out)** principle.

**Types of Queues:**
- Simple Queue
- Circular Queue
- Priority Queue
- Double-Ended Queue (Deque)

**Operations:**
- Enqueue (Insert element)
- Dequeue (Remove element)
- Front & Rear (View elements)
