Basics of Data Structure

FLOWCHART IN DATA STRUCTURE A  flowchart  is a type of  diagram  that represents an algorithm, workflow or process, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting them with arrows. This diagrammatic representation illustrates a solution model to a given problem. A  flowchart  is a pictorial or graphical representation of a process.  Flowcharts  are used  in many industries including entertainment, engineering, physical sciences and computer programming. The purpose of all  flowcharts  is to communicate how a process works or  should  work without any technical or group-specific jargon. FLOWCHART SYMBOLS Flowchart Symbols. Flowcharts use special  shapes  to represent different types of actions or steps in a process.  Lines  and arrows show the sequence of the steps, and the relationships among them. HOW DO YOU MAKE A FLOWCHART Adding shapes is pret...

Introduction to Basic Data Structures and Algorithms Before introducing data structures we should understand that computers do store, retrieve, and process a large amount of data. If the data is stored in well organized way on storage media and in computer's memory then it can be accessed quickly for processing that further reduces the latency and the user is provided fast response. Data structure introduction refers to a scheme for organizing data, or in other words a data structure is an arrangement of data in computer's memory in such a way that it could make the data quickly available to the processor for required calculations. A data structure should be seen as a logical concept that must address two fundamental concerns. First, how the data will be stored, and second, what operations will be performed on it? As data structure is a scheme for data organization so the functional definition of a data structure should be independent of its implementation. The functi...
