Data Structures in Python

• Research Presentation - Version 2


• Prepared by: [Your Name]
Background and Motivation

• Modern software development relies heavily on efficient data handling. Python


provides dynamic and built-in data structures that allow developers to write
concise, readable, and efficient code.
• Mastering data structures enables better problem-solving, algorithm
implementation, and system design.
Introduction

• This presentation introduces fundamental and advanced data structures in Python.


• It highlights their characteristics, performance, and best use cases in real-world
programming tasks.
Research Objectives

• - Present Python’s core and advanced data structures.

• - Demonstrate practical uses with code examples.

• - Evaluate each structure’s performance and memory usage.

• - Encourage best practices in choosing the right structure.


Scope of the Research

• This research focuses on native Python data structures (lists, dictionaries, sets,
etc.) and modules like collections and array.
• It does not cover third-party libraries like NumPy or Pandas, nor does it go into
low-level data structure implementation in C.
Research Methodology

• The approach includes:

• - Reviewing official Python documentation.

• - Hands-on experiments with code snippets.

• - Analyzing time and space complexity.

• - Comparing performance via practical tasks.


Python’s Built-in Data Types

• Python offers flexible and powerful data types:

• - Numbers, Strings, Booleans

• - Sequences: Lists, Tuples, Ranges

• - Sets and Frozensets

• - Dictionaries (key-value mappings)


Lists: Dynamic Arrays

• - Ordered, mutable collections of items.

• - Common operations: append, pop, slice, sort.

• - Used in loops, stacks, queues, and data processing.

• Time Complexity: Access O(1), Insert/Delete O(n)


Tuples and Ranges

• - Tuples: Immutable, ordered structures for fixed datasets.

• - Useful for returning multiple values and ensuring data integrity.

• - Ranges: Generate numeric sequences efficiently without storing values.


Dictionaries in Depth

• - Stores data as key-value pairs.

• - Highly optimized for lookup and insertion.

• - Applications: storing records, indexing, configuration.

• Methods: get(), keys(), values(), items()


Sets and Frozensets

• - Unordered collections of unique elements.

• - Fast membership tests and set algebra (union, intersection).

• - Frozensets: immutable version of sets.

• Common in filtering and uniqueness checks.


Using collections Module

• - defaultdict: Provides default values for missing keys.

• - deque: Fast double-ended queue operations.

• - Counter: Counting elements in iterables.

• - OrderedDict: Maintains insertion order (pre-3.7).


Stacks, Queues, and Heaps

• - Stack (LIFO): Using list or deque.

• - Queue (FIFO): Using deque or queue module.

• - Priority Queue: heapq implements a binary heap.

• Applications: job scheduling, AI, parsing.


Conclusion & Future Work

• Data structures are critical for writing efficient programs.

• Python provides simple syntax but powerful tools to handle data.

• Developers should benchmark structures in context and practice with real-world


problems.
