   EE2204 DATA STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHMS

(Common to EEE, EIE & ICE)

AIM:

To master the design and applications of linear, tree, and graph structures. To understand various algorithm design and analysis techniques.

UNIT I LINEAR STRUCTURES

Abstract Data Types (ADT) – List ADT – array-based implementation – linked list implementation – cursor-based linked lists – doubly-linked lists –applications of lists – Stack ADT – Queue ADT – circular queue implementation – Applications of stacks and queues

UNIT II TREE STRUCTURES

Need for non-linear structures – Tree ADT – tree traversals – left child right sibling data structures for general trees – Binary Tree ADT – expression trees – applications of trees – binary search tree ADT

UNIT III BALANCED SEARCH TREES AND INDEXING

AVL trees – Binary Heaps – B-Tree – Hashing – Separate chaining – open addressing – Linear probing

UNIT IV GRAPHS

Definitions – Topological sort – breadth-first traversal - shortest-path algorithms – minimum spanning tree – Prim's and Kruskal's algorithms – Depth-first traversal – biconnectivity – euler circuits – applications of graphs

UNIT V ALGORITHM DESIGN AND ANALYSIS

Greedy algorithms – Divide and conquer – Dynamic programming – backtracking – branch and bound – Randomized algorithms – algorithm analysis – asymptotic notations – recurrences – NP complete problems
