Data Structures and
Algorithms in Java
Data structures and algorithms are fundamental building blocks of
software development, enabling efficient organization and
processing of information. Understanding these concepts is crucial
for writing effective, performant, and scalable code.
Introduction to Data
Structures
Organizing Data Efficient Operations
Data structures are They enable optimized
fundamental building data access, modification,
blocks for organizing and and retrieval operations.
managing data efficiently.
Code Structure
Choosing the right data structure can significantly impact
code performance and scalability.
Arrays and Linked Lists
Arrays Linked Lists
Arrays store data in contiguous memory locations. They Linked lists store data in nodes connected through
offer constant-time access to elements. pointers. They are dynamic and can grow or shrink as
needed.
Inserting or deleting elements in the middle can be
time-consuming, requiring shifting elements. Elements can be inserted or deleted efficiently, but
accessing elements requires traversing the list.
Stacks and Queues
Stacks Queues
Stacks operate on a Last-In, Queues operate on a First-
First-Out (LIFO) principle. In, First-Out (FIFO) principle.
Elements are added and Elements are added to the

front.
Trees and Binary Trees
Tree
1 A hierarchical data structure with a root node and branches.
Binary Tree
2
A tree where each node has at most two children.
Examines each element sequentially until the target is Efficiently searches a sorted array by repeatedly

data.
Graph Algorithms
Space Complexity
2
Measures the amount of memory an algorithm uses, based on the input size.
Big O Notation
3 A mathematical notation used to express the growth
rate of time and space complexity.
