Data Structures through Java - Study Material

1. Introduction to Data Structures

Definition: Organized way to store, manage, and retrieve data.

Types:

- Primitive: int, float, char

- Non-Primitive: Arrays, Linked Lists, Stacks, Queues, Trees, Graphs

2. Arrays

Concept: Fixed-size container of elements of the same type.

Declaration:

int[] arr = new int[5];

Traversal:

for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {

System.out.println(arr[i]);

Exercise: Write a program to find the maximum and second maximum in an array.

3. Linked Lists

Types: Singly, Doubly, Circular Linked List

Node Class:

class Node {

int data;

Node next;

Node(int data) {

this.data = data;

this.next = null;

Exercise: Implement insertion at beginning and end.

4. Stacks
Data Structures through Java - Study Material

LIFO (Last In First Out)

Implemented using arrays or LinkedList

Java Stack:

Stack<Integer> stack = new Stack<>();

stack.push(10);

stack.pop();

Exercise: Convert infix expression to postfix.

5. Queues

FIFO (First In First Out)

Types: Linear, Circular, Priority Queue

Java Queue:

Queue<Integer> q = new LinkedList<>();

q.offer(10);

q.poll();

Exercise: Implement Circular Queue using array.

6. Recursion

Definition: Function calling itself

Example:

int factorial(int n) {

if (n == 0) return 1;

return n * factorial(n - 1);

Exercise: Recursive Fibonacci and binary search.

7. Searching Algorithms

Linear Search: Simple but slow

Binary Search: Fast but needs sorted array

Time: O(log n)

Binary Search Code:

int binarySearch(int[] a, int key) {

int low = 0, high = a.length - 1;

while (low <= high) {

int mid = (low + high) / 2;

if (a[mid] == key) return mid;

else if (a[mid] < key) low = mid + 1;

else high = mid - 1;

return -1;

8. Sorting Algorithms

Bubble Sort, Selection Sort, Insertion Sort

Exercise: Write Bubble Sort and analyze steps.

9. Trees (Intro)

Binary Tree, Binary Search Tree

Traversals: Inorder, Preorder, Postorder

Exercise: Write recursive inorder traversal

10. Complexity Analysis

Time Complexity, Space Complexity

Common notations: O(1), O(n), O(log n), O(n²)
