Applying Algorithmic Design and Data Structure Techniques
Java Newbie? Come on In! Today we will be talking about applying algorithmic design and data structure techniques in developing structured programs. Do not fret; I intend to take you through this as a newbie to a newbie would! First, we need to understand what algorithmic design and data structure techniques are. A data structure is a particular way of storing and organizing data so that it can be used efficiently. Arrays, trees, linked lists, stacks, graphs, etc. are all data structures that allow us to perform different operations on data. Algorithm design is simply just a collection of different steps that will lead you to the correct output. The two work hand in hand by influencing each other more specifically the design of the end result. Are some algorithms and data structure designs better than others? In my opinion yes they absolutely can be. It is highly definitive on the desired output that you are seeking. Both of these complement each other to prod...
