DATA STRUCTURES

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

• To understand the concepts of ADTs.

• To Learn linear data structures – lists, stacks, and queues.

• To understand non-linear data structures – trees and graphs.

• To understand sorting, searching and hashing algorithms.

• To apply Tree and Graph structures.

UNIT I LISTS

Abstract Data Types (ADTs) – List ADT – Array-based implementation – Linked list implementation  – Singly linked lists – Circularly linked lists – Doubly-linked lists – Applications of lists – Polynomial  ADT – Radix Sort – Multilists.

UNIT II STACKS AND QUEUES

Stack ADT – Operations – Applications – Balancing Symbols – Evaluating arithmetic expressions Infix to Postfix conversion – Function Calls – Queue ADT – Operations – Circular Queue – DeQueue  – Applications of Queues.

UNIT III TREES  

Tree ADT – Tree Traversals - Binary Tree ADT – Expression trees – Binary Search Tree ADT – AVL  Trees – Priority Queue (Heaps) – Binary Heap.

UNIT IV MULTIWAY SEARCH TREES AND GRAPHS

B-Tree – B+ Tree – Graph Definition – Representation of Graphs – Types of Graph - Breadth-first  traversal – Depth-first traversal –– Bi-connectivity – Euler circuits – Topological Sort – Dijkstra's  algorithm – Minimum Spanning Tree – Prim's algorithm – Kruskal's algorithm

UNIT V SEARCHING, SORTING AND HASHING TECHNIQUES

Searching – Linear Search – Binary Search. Sorting – Bubble sort – Selection sort – Insertion  sort – Shell sort –. Merge Sort – Hashing – Hash Functions – Separate Chaining – Open  Addressing –Rehashing – Extendible Hashing.

COURSE OUTCOMES:

At the end of this course, the students will be able to:

CO1: Define linear and non-linear data structures.

CO2: Implement linear and non–linear data structure operations.

CO3: Use appropriate linear/non–linear data structure operations for solving a given problem. CO4: Apply appropriate graph algorithms for graph applications.

CO5: Analyze the various searching and sorting algorithms.
