Basic Data Structures: Overview

by Aditya Chatterjee, Ue Kiao

This book "Basic Data Overview" is a perfect fit as a starting point to get the complete idea of the entire domain and then, go into each data structure in depth or recreate the details by thinking on your own. This book is, also, a good fit for you if you have solved Algorithmic problems previously and need to revise the complete idea of Basic Data Structures quickly in a day for an upcoming Interview or just for stimulating your brain. Over 30 basic data structures have been covered starting with Array and up to useful data structures like Trie and Union Find and data structures for specific applications like Graph Algorithms, Dynamic Programming and much more. For each data structure, we have presented the basic ideas, complexity of basic operations, advantages, disadvantages, and key thoughts. As you go through this book, you will form a good understanding of different data structures in contrast and will be able to answer tough research questions with original thought. We have presented some insightful questions based on these basic Data Structures at the end "If using hash map we can search in constant time, what does this imply for higher dimensional data like 2D maps?" This book has been carefully prepared and reviewed by Top programmers and Algorithmic researchers from OpenGenus, The University of Tokyo and Tokyo Institute of Technology. This is a MUST READ if you want to master Data Structures.
