Elementary Data Structures in C+

A Comprehensive Guide with

By Güneş
Introduction to Data Structures
• • Data structures organize and store data
efficiently.
• • They help optimize operations like
searching, sorting, and updating.
• • Two main types: Linear (Arrays, Linked Lists,
Stacks, Queues) and Non-Linear (Trees,
Graphs).
Arrays in C++
• • Definition: A fixed-size collection of
elements stored in contiguous memory
locations.
• • Operations: Access (O(1)), Insertion &
Deletion (O(n)).
• • Advantages: Fast access, simple
implementation.
• • Disadvantages: Fixed size, costly middle
insert/delete.
Linked Lists in C++
• • Definition: A collection of nodes, where each
node contains data and a pointer.
• • Types: Singly, Doubly, Circular Linked Lists.
• • Advantages: Dynamic size, fast
insertion/deletion.
• • Disadvantages: More memory usage
(pointers), slower access.
Stacks in C++ (LIFO)
• • Last In First Out (LIFO) principle.
• • Real-world uses: Undo operations, Call Stack
in recursion.
• • Operations: Push (O(1)), Pop (O(1)), Peek
(O(1)).
• • Implementation: Using arrays, linked lists,
STL stack.
Queues in C++ (FIFO)
• • First In First Out (FIFO) principle.
• • Real-world uses: Printer queue, Task
scheduling.
• • Operations: Enqueue (O(1)), Dequeue (O(1)),
Front (O(1)).
• • Implementation: Using arrays, linked lists,
STL queue.
Conclusion
• • Arrays: Fast access, fixed size.
• • Linked Lists: Dynamic, better for
insertions/deletions.
• • Stacks: LIFO principle, useful for undo
operations.
• • Queues: FIFO principle, useful for task
scheduling.
• • Next Steps: Learn Trees, Graphs, Hash
Tables!
