Syntax Error: DSA Roadmap and Beginner Programming Guide

*** Step 1: Basics of Programming ***

If-Else Statements

Concept: Learn how to control the flow of your program using conditional statements.

Sample Questions:

- Write a program to check if a given number is even or odd.

- Create a program that determines the largest of three numbers.

- Write a program to check if a given year is a leap year.

Loops (for, while, do-while)

Concept: Master different types of loops to perform repetitive tasks.

Sample Questions:

- Write a program to print numbers from 1 to N.

- Calculate the sum of the first N natural numbers.

- Reverse a given number (e.g., Input: 123 to Output: 321).

- Count the number of digits in a number using loops.

Functions & Recursion

Concept: Understand how to create reusable functions and the basics of recursion.

Sample Questions:

- Write a function to calculate the factorial of a number using recursion.

- Implement a recursive function to generate the Fibonacci series.

- Create a function to check if a number is prime using recursion.

manipulation.

Sample Questions:

- Reverse a given string.

Vectors

Concept: Get familiar with dynamic arrays using vectors, including operations like push_back,

pop_back, and iteration.

Sample Questions:

- Insert elements into a vector and display them.

- Sort a vector using standard library functions.

- Remove duplicate elements from a vector.

- Find the maximum element in a vector using built-in functions.

- Find the first recurring element in an array using a set.

- Check if two strings are anagrams by comparing character frequencies with a hashmap.

Stacks & Queues

applications.

- Implement a stack using arrays and perform basic operations (push, pop, peek).

- Evaluate a postfix expression using a stack.

- Create a queue using an array or linked list and demonstrate enqueue and dequeue operations.

- Use a stack to check for balanced parentheses in an expression.

Linked Lists
