Subject Data Structure and Algorithm

Lecture #1: SORTING


● Definition:
Sorting is the process of arranging elements in a specific order, typically ascending
or descending.

● Why it's important:


- Easier to search data
- Necessary for binary search
- Prepares data for reporting or decision making

● Why Sorting Matters:


-Speeds up searching (e.g., binary search)
-Organizes data for human readability
-Enables efficient algorithms in databases and analytics
A. Bubble Sort
Time Complexity: O(n²)
● Simple sorting algorithm.
● Repeatedly compares adjacent elements and swaps them if they are in the wrong
order.

Bubble Sort

Basic C++ Code (Ascending Order):

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void bubbleSort(int arr[], int n) {


for (int i = 0; i < n-1; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < n-i-1; j++) {
if (arr[j] > arr[j+1])
swap(arr[j], arr[j+1]);
}
}
}

int main() {
int arr[] = {5, 1, 4, 2};
int n = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]);
bubbleSort(arr, n);
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
cout << arr[i] << " ";
}

Optimized Bubble Sort:

void optimizedBubbleSort(int arr[], int n) {


bool swapped;
for (int i = 0; i < n-1; i++) {
swapped = false;
for (int j = 0; j < n-i-1; j++) {
if (arr[j] > arr[j+1]) {
swap(arr[j], arr[j+1]);
swapped = true;
}
}
if (!swapped) break;
}
}

B. Selection Sort
Time Complexity: O(n²)

● Repeatedly finds the minimum element and moves it to the front.

Selection Sort

Basic C++ Code:

void selectionSort(int arr[], int n) {


for (int i = 0; i < n-1; i++) {
int minIndex = i;
for (int j = i+1; j < n; j++)
if (arr[j] < arr[minIndex])
minIndex = j;
swap(arr[i], arr[minIndex]);
}
}

Descending Order:

void selectionSortDescending(int arr[], int n) {


for (int i = 0; i < n-1; i++) {
int maxIndex = i;
for (int j = i+1; j < n; j++)
if (arr[j] > arr[maxIndex])
maxIndex = j;
swap(arr[i], arr[maxIndex]);
}
}

C. Insertion Sort
● Builds a sorted list one element at a time.
● Efficient for small datasets.

Insertion Sort
Basic C++ Code:

void insertionSort(int arr[], int n) {


for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
int key = arr[i], j = i-1;
while (j >= 0 && arr[j] > key)
arr[j+1] = arr[j--];
arr[j+1] = key;
}
}

With Insert Function:

void insert(int arr[], int n) {


int key = arr[n], j = n - 1;
while (j >= 0 && arr[j] > key) {
arr[j + 1] = arr[j];
j--;
}
arr[j + 1] = key;
}

void insertionSort(int arr[], int n) {


for (int i = 1; i < n; i++)
insert(arr, i);
}

Lecture #2: STACKS


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

LIFO (Last-In, First-Out)

Operations:

● Push(item): Add item on top

● Pop(): Remove item from top


● Peek(): View top item

● IsEmpty(): Check if empty

Basic C++ Code Using Array

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#define SIZE 5
int stack[SIZE], top = -1;

void push(int x) {
if (top < SIZE - 1)
stack[++top] = x;8
}

int pop() {
if (top >= 0)
return stack[top--];
return -1;
}

int main() {
push(10); push(20);
cout << "Popped: " << pop();
}

Advanced C++ Code Using STL

#include <iostream>
#include <stack>
using namespace std;

int main() {
stack<int> s;
s.push(5);
s.push(10);
s.pop();
cout << "Top: " << s.top();
}

Lecture #3: QUEUES


● Definition:
A queue is a linear data structure that follows the FIFO (First-In, First-Out)
principle.

FIFO (First-In, First-Out)

Operations:

● Enqueue(item): Add to rear


● Dequeue(): Remove from front
● Front(): Peek first item
● IsEmpty()

Basic C++ Code Using Array

#define SIZE 5
int queue[SIZE], front = 0, rear = -1;

void enqueue(int x) {
if (rear < SIZE - 1)
queue[++rear] = x;
}

int dequeue() {
if (front <= rear)
return queue[front++];
return -1;
}

int main() {
enqueue(3); enqueue(5);
cout << "Dequeued: " << dequeue();
}

Advanced C++ Code Using STL


#include <iostream>
#include <queue>
using namespace std;

int main() {
queue<int> q;
q.push(1);
q.push(2);
q.pop();
cout << "Front: " << q.front();
}
