Data structures are a way of organizing and storing data in a computer so that it can be accessed and manipulated efficiently. They provide a means to manage large amounts of data and improve the performance of algorithms that operate on this data. Common data structures include arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs. Each of these data structures has unique properties and can be used to solve different types of problems.
The importance of data structures lies in their ability to improve the efficiency of algorithms that operate on large datasets. By choosing the right data structure for a given problem, we can minimize the time and space complexity of our algorithms, making them faster and more efficient. Data structures also play a critical role in software engineering, where they are used to design and implement complex systems such as databases, operating systems, and web applications.
This repository contains my implementations of various data structures and algorithms in C and C++. The code examples in this repository can be used as a starting point for building larger, more complex applications that require efficient data management and processing.
