Object-Oriented Design and Data Structures · Algorithms and Programming
Linear Data Structures
Building and manipulating linked lists, stacks, and queues from scratch. Students learn about dynamic memory allocation and pointer management.
Key Questions
- 1Why would a developer choose a linked list over a standard array for data storage?
- 2How do stack and queue structures facilitate undo mechanisms or print buffers?
- 3What are the implications of manual versus automatic memory management?
