    Introduction to Data Structures &

    Algorithms
    Greetings everyone, and thank you for joining me on this new playlist of mine,
    Data Structures, and Algorithms. You’ll learn everything needed to prepare for
    interviews, placements, and logic building in this course. This playlist will teach
    you how to create optimal solutions to your real-world problems. This course
    explores a broad range of data structures and algorithms. Furthermore, I have
    designed this course with the optimal requirements in mind and will try my
    best not to miss anything. 
    The only thing you need to know is the fundamentals of C/C++ to get started
    with this course. If you are not yet ready with that, you may want to access my
    short tutorials on C and C++. For now, that will suffice. Links are here:

     C: C Programming Tutorial For Beginners: Learn C In Hindi


     C++: C++ Tutorial For Beginners: Learn C Plus Plus In Hindi

    Although you can start here, even if you know Java well. The reason for
    adhering to C or C++ is to be able to write the code from scratch. These are
    very recommended since they make it easy to understand the fundamentals of
    these theories. 
    Note: Do not forget to access the notes I have provided along with the course.
    So, without any further ado, let's start our Data structures and Algorithms
    journey.

    Data Structures and Algorithms:

    Let's clear up our basics with these terms before deep diving into DSA.  Data
    Structures and Algorithms are two different things.
    Data Structures –  These are like the ingredients you need to build efficient
    algorithms. These are the ways to arrange data so that they (data items) can
    be used efficiently in the main memory. Examples: Array, Stack, Linked List,
    and many more. You don't need to worry about these names. These topics will
    be covered in detail in the upcoming tutorials.
    Algorithms – Sequence of steps performed on the data using efficient data
    structures to solve a given problem, be it a basic or real-life-based one. 
    Examples include: sorting an array.

    Some other Important terminologies:

    1. Database – Collection of information in permanent storage for faster retrieval


    and updation. Examples are MySql, MongoDB, etc.
    2. Data warehouse – Management of huge data of legacy data( the data we
    keep at a different place from our fresh data in the database to make the
    process of retrieval and updation fast) for better analysis.
    3. Big data – Analysis of too large or complex data, which cannot be dealt with
    the traditional data processing applications.

    Memory Layout of C Programs:

     When the program starts, its code gets copied to the main memory.
     The stack holds the memory occupied by functions. It stores the activation
    records of the functions used in the program. And erases them as they get
    executed.
     The heap contains the data which is requested by the program as dynamic
    memory using pointers.
     Initialized and uninitialized data segments hold initialized and uninitialized
    global variables, respectively.

    Take a look at the below diagram for a better understanding:


    So, this was all for the beginning. Data Structures and Algorithms are not new
    concepts. If you have done programming in any language like C, you must
    have come across  Arrays – A data structure. And algorithms are just
    sequences of processing steps to solve a problem. :)
