Course Objectives:- The aim of this course is to

Impart in-depth knowledge of data structure and its implementation in computer programs.
Make students understand the concepts of linear and non linear data structure.
Illustrate asymptotic notations and their usage.

Pre-requisites: - C language
Student Learning Outcomes:
After successful completion of this course, the student will be able to
Apply advance C programming techniques such as pointers, dynamic memory allocation, structures to developing solutions for particular problems.
Describe and implement abstract data types such as linked list, stack, queue and tree by using C for static and dynamic implementations.
Analyze, and evaluate appropriate abstract data types and algorithms to solve problems.
