Data Structures and Algorithms in C

In the world of programming, the ability to efficiently store, organize, and manipulate data is key to solving complex problems. Data structures and algorithms (DSA) are fundamental concepts in computer science that help developers structure and process data efficiently. C, a powerful low-level programming language, is well-suited for implementing various data structures and algorithms due to its speed, simplicity, and control over system resources. This article explores common data structures and algorithms implemented in C and their importance in solving real-world problems

  4. 1.Arrays 2.LinkedLists COMMONDATASTRUCTURESINC Anarrayisacollectionofelementsofthesame type,storedincontiguousmemorylocations.It allowsforefficientaccesstoelementsviaan index. Operations:Insertion,deletion,searching, andtraversal. Alinkedlistisalineardatastructurewhereelements(nodes)are storedinnon-contiguousmemorylocations.Eachnodecontains dataandareference(orpointer)tothenextnodeinthesequence. Types:Singlylinkedlist,doublylinkedlist,andcircularlinked list. Operations:Insertion,deletion,searching,andtraversal. TimeComplexity:InsertionanddeletionattheheadareO(1); searchingisO(n). TimeComplexity:Access insertionanddeletion isO(1),but canbeO(n) dependingonthelocation. Example(SinglyLinkedListNode): structNode { intdata; structNode*next; }; EXAMPLE: INTARR[5]={1,2,3,4,5}; https://nareshit.com/courses/c-language-online-training

  5. 4.Queues 1.Queues AqueueisacollectionthatfollowstheFirstIn,FirstOut AstackisacollectionthatfollowstheLastIn,First Out(LIFO)principle.Onlythetopelementcanbe accessedatanygiventime. 3.Stacks (FIFO)principle.Elementsareaddedattherearand removedfromthefront. Operations:Enqueue(insert),dequeue(remove),and peek(viewfrontelement). Operations:Push(insert),pop(remove),and peek(viewtopelement). TimeComplexity:Pushandpopoperationsare O(1). Example: structStack{ intarr[10]; inttop; }; TimeComplexity:Enqueueanddequeueoperationsare O(1). Example: structQueue{ intarr[10]; intfront,rear; }; https://nareshit.com/courses/c-language-online-training

  6. 5.Trees Agraphisacollectionofnodes(vertices)andedges thatconnect pairsofnodes.Itcanberepresentedusing anadjacencymatrixoradjacencylist. Types:Directed,undirected,weighted,and unweightedgraphs. Operations:Traversal (BFS,DFS),searching,and shortestpath. TimeComplexity:DFSandBFSareO(V+E),whereV isthenumberofverticesandEisthenumberof edges. Example(AdjacencyList): structGraph { intV; structNode*adjList[MAX_VERTICES] Atreeisahierarchicaldatastructureconsistingof nodes,whereeachnodehasavalueandreferencesto itschildnodes.Themostcommontypeoftreeisthe binarytree,whereeachnodehasatmosttwo children. Operations:Insertion,deletion,traversal(in- order,pre-order,post-order),searching. TimeComplexity:Inabalancedbinarytree, insertion,deletion,andsearchingareO(logn). Example(BinaryTreeNode): structTreeNode{ intdata; structTreeNode*left; structTreeNode*right; }; Graphs

  7. 1.SORTINGALGORITHMS Sortingalgorithmsarrangeelementsinaspecificorder(ascendingordescending).Somecommon sortingalgorithmsinclude: BubbleSort:Asimplecomparison-basedalgorithm,butwithatimecomplexityofO(n^2). QuickSort:Adivide-and-conqueralgorithmwithanaveragetimecomplexityofO(nlogn). MergeSort:Anotherdivide-and-conqueralgorithmwithO(nlogn)timecomplexity. Example(BubbleSort): voidbubbleSort(intarr[],intn){ for(inti=0;i<n-1;i++){ for(intj=0;j<n-i-1;j++){ if(arr[j]>arr[j+1]) { inttemp=arr[j]; arr[j]=arr[j+1]; arr[j+1]=temp; } } } } COMMONALGORITHMSINC
