Data Structures in Python

• Research Presentation
• Prepared by: [Your Name]
Background and Motivation

• Data structures are fundamental components in programming that enable efficient


data storage, organization, and manipulation.
• Python offers a wide range of built-in and user-defined data structures, making it
ideal for both beginners and professionals.
• Understanding how and when to use each structure can greatly impact
performance and code quality.
Introduction

• This research explores core data structures available in Python and their real-world
applications.
• It covers both built-in types and advanced structures, highlighting their strengths,
limitations, and use cases.
Research Objectives

• - Introduce the key data structures in Python.

• - Explain the internal implementation and behavior of each.

• - Analyze time and space complexity.

• - Demonstrate practical examples and use cases.


Scope of the Research

• This research focuses on data structures within the Python programming language.

• It includes built-in types and data structures from the collections and array
modules.

• It does not cover third-party or platform-specific structures.


Research Methodology

• The research is based on:

• - Python documentation and official tutorials.

• - Code implementation and benchmarking.

• - Analysis of real-world examples and projects.


Overview of Data Structures

• Data structures are ways of organizing and storing data so they can be accessed
and modified efficiently.
• They play a critical role in algorithm design, memory management, and software
architecture.
• Python supports both primitive and complex data structures.
Lists and Tuples

• - Lists: Mutable, ordered collections. Useful for dynamic datasets.

• - Tuples: Immutable, ordered collections. Useful for fixed data.

• Operations: Indexing, slicing, appending, popping, etc.

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


Dictionaries and Sets

• - Dictionaries: Key-value pairs, mutable and unordered (Python 3.7+ maintains


insertion order).

• - Sets: Unordered collections of unique elements.

• Efficient for lookups, membership tests.

• Time Complexity: Average O(1) for lookup, insert, delete.


Stacks and Queues

• - Stack: LIFO structure. Implemented using lists or collections.deque.

• - Queue: FIFO structure. Best implemented with collections.deque.

• Used in parsing, expression evaluation, task scheduling.

• Operations: push(), pop(), enqueue(), dequeue()


Linked Lists

• Python does not have a built-in linked list, but it can be implemented using classes.

• Types: Singly Linked List, Doubly Linked List

• Useful for dynamic memory allocation and efficient insertions/deletions.

• Time Complexity: O(n) for search, O(1) for insert/delete at head.


Trees and Graphs

• Used for hierarchical data and relationships.

• Binary trees, Binary Search Trees (BST), Heaps, Trie.

• Graphs represented using adjacency lists/dictionaries.

• Applications: File systems, routing algorithms, AI.


Advanced Structures

• - Heaps (heapq): For priority queues.

• - deque (collections): Fast appends and pops from both ends.

• - NamedTuple and dataclass: Lightweight data containers.

• - Counter, OrderedDict: Useful enhancements of dict.


Conclusion & Recommendations

• Understanding data structures is essential for efficient problem-solving.

• Python's flexibility offers many ways to structure data depending on use-case.

• Choose the right data structure for the right problem to optimize performance.
