Data Structure Through C / C++

Course Description:
Data structures are the basis of efficient programming, and this 8-week course teaches them using C and C++. You revise the programming fundamentals, then learn the difference between algorithms and programs and how data is organized in memory. The course covers arrays, pointers, strings, linked lists, stacks, queues and binary tree search, with each structure implemented in code in the lab. It suits students who already know C or C++ and want to improve their problem-solving.

Course Contents:
• PROGRAMMING BASICS • Fundamental Programming Structures in C++ • Algorithms Vs Programs • Data Types
• SYNTAX & LOGIC • Operators, If Construct, Switch, Loops • Arrays, Pointers, Functions, Arguments • String Handling & Library Functions
• DATA STRUCTURES • Program & Data Structure • Linked List • Implementation Stacks & Queues • Implementation of Binary Tree Search

Course Outcome:
After completing this course you will be able to implement linked lists, stacks, queues and binary search trees in C or C++, choose a suitable data structure for a problem, and write cleaner and more efficient programs. These skills are widely used in programming tests and technical interviews, and they prepare you for advanced programming courses.
