 COURSE OBJECTIVES:

•  To understand the concepts of ADTs

•  To design linear data structures – lists, stacks, and queues

•  To understand sorting, searching, and hashing algorithms

•  To apply Tree and Graph structures

UNIT I ABSTRACT DATA TYPES 9

Abstract Data Types (ADTs) – ADTs and classes – introduction to OOP – classes in Python – inheritance – namespaces – shallow and deep copying
Introduction to analysis of algorithms – asymptotic notations – divide & conquer – recursion – analyzing recursive algorithms

UNIT II LINEAR STRUCTURES 9

List ADT – array-based implementations – linked list implementations – singly linked lists – circularly linked lists – doubly linked lists – Stack ADT – Queue ADT – double ended queues – applications

UNIT III SORTING AND SEARCHING 9

Bubble sort – selection sort – insertion sort – merge sort – quick sort – analysis of sorting algorithms – linear search – binary search – hashing – hash functions – collision handling – load factors, rehashing, and efficiency

UNIT IV TREE STRUCTURES 9

Tree ADT – Binary Tree ADT – tree traversals – binary search trees – AVL trees – heaps – multi- way search trees

UNIT V GRAPH STRUCTURES 9

Graph ADT – representations of graph – graph traversals – DAG – topological ordering – greedy algorithms – dynamic programming – shortest paths – minimum spanning trees – introduction to complexity classes and intractability

COURSE OUTCOMES:
At the end of the course, the student should be able to:
CO1:Explain abstract data types
CO2:Design, implement, and analyze linear data structures, such as lists, queues, and stacks, according to the needs of different applications
CO3:Design, implement, and analyze efficient tree structures to meet requirements such as searching, indexing, and sorting
CO4:Model problems as graph problems and implement efficient graph algorithms to solve them
