This repository contains a collection of notes, examples, and exercises on various data structures and concurrency concepts. The topics covered include:
- Collections: A high-level overview of collections, including sets, lists, and maps. Implementation details and trade-offs are discussed.
- ArrayLists: A dynamic array implementation, including insertion, deletion, and searching operations.
- Linked Lists: A node-based implementation, including insertion, deletion, and searching operations.
- Stacks and Queues: Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) and First-In-First-Out (FIFO) data structures, including implementation and usage examples.
- Trees and Binary Search Trees: A hierarchical data structure, including traversal algorithms (inorder, preorder, postorder) and search operations.
- Recursion: A fundamental concept in programming, including recursive function calls, memoization, and dynamic programming.
- Efficiency of Algorithms: Analysis of algorithmic complexity, including Big O notation, time and space complexity, and trade-offs.
- Profiling: Techniques for measuring and optimizing the performance of algorithms and data structures.
Through this repository, I gained a deeper understanding of the following concepts:
- The importance of choosing the right data structure for a problem, considering factors such as time and space complexity.
- The trade-offs between different data structures, including arrays, linked lists, stacks, and queues.
- The power of recursion in solving complex problems, and the importance of memoization and dynamic programming.
- The need to consider concurrency and parallelism in modern programming, including the use of threads and locks.
- The importance of profiling and optimizing algorithms for performance
