Data Structures
1
DATA STRUCTURES
The logical or mathematical model of a particular
organization of data is called a data structure
2
DATA STRUCTURES
A primitive data type holds a single piece of data
–e.g. in Java: int, long, char, boolean etc.
–Legal operations on integers: + - * / ...
A data structure structures data!
–Usually more than one piece of data
–Should provide legal operations on the data
–The data might be joined together (e.g. in an array): a
collection
3
Static vs. Dynamic Structures
A static data structure has a fixed size
This meaning is different than those associated with the static
modifier
Arrays are static; once you define the number of elements it can
hold, it doesn’t change
A dynamic data structure grows and shrinks as required by the
information it contains
4
Abstract Data Type
An Abstract Data Type (ADT) is a data type together
with the operations, whose properties are specified
independently of any particular implementation.
5
Abstract Data Type
In computing, we view data from three perspectives:
Application level
View of the data within a particular problem
Logical level
An abstract view of the data values (the domain) and the
set of operations to manipulate them
Implementation level
A specific representation of the structure to hold the data
items and the coding of the operations in a programming
language

Problem Definition
What is the task to be accomplished?
Calculate the average of the grades for a given student
What are the time / space / speed / performance requirements?
8
.
Algorithm Design / Specifications
Algorithm: Finite set of instructions that, if followed, accomplishes a
particular task.
Describe: in natural language / pseudo-code / diagrams / etc.
Criteria to follow:
Input: Zero or more quantities (externally produced)
Output: One or more quantities
Definiteness: Clarity, precision of each instruction
Finiteness: The algorithm has to stop after a finite (may be very
large) number of steps
Effectiveness: Each instruction has to be basic enough and
feasible
9
Implementation, Testing, Maintenances
Implementation
Decide on the programming language to use
C, C++, Lisp, Java, Perl, Prolog, assembly, etc. , etc.
Write clean, well documented code
Test, test, test
Integrate feedback from users, fix bugs, ensure compatibility
across different versions  Maintenance
10
Algorithm Analysis
Space complexity
How much space is required
Time complexity
How much time does it take to run the algorithm
Often, we deal with estimates!
11
Space Complexity
Space complexity = The amount of memory required by an
algorithm to run to completion
[Core dumps = the most often encountered cause is “memory
leaks” – the amount of memory required larger than the
memory available on a given system]
Some algorithms may be more efficient if data completely loaded
into memory
Need to look also at system limitations
E.g. Classify 2GB of text in various categories [politics, tourism,
sport, natural disasters, etc.] – can I afford to load the entire
collection?
12
Space Complexity (cont’d)
1. Fixed part: The size required to store certain data/variables, that
is independent of the size of the problem:
- e.g. name of the data collection
- same size for classifying 2GB or 1MB of texts
2. Variable part: Space needed by variables, whose size is
dependent on the size of the problem:
- e.g. actual text
- load 2GB of text VS. load 1MB of text
13
Space Complexity (cont’d)
S(P) = c + S(instance characteristics)
c = constant
Example:
float sum (float* a, int n)
{
float s = 0;
for(int i = 0; i<n; i++) {
s+ = a[i];
}
return s;
}
Space? one word for n, one for a [passed by reference!], one
for i  constant space!
14
Time Complexity
Often more important than space complexity
space available (for computer programs!) tends to be larger
and larger
time is still a problem for all of us
3-4GHz processors on the market
researchers estimate that the computation of various
transformations for 1 single DNA chain for one single protein on
1 TerraHZ computer would take about 1 year to run to
completion
Algorithms running time is an important issue
15
Running Time
Problem: prefix averages
Given an array X
Compute the array A such that A[i] is the average of elements
X[0] … X[i], for i=0..n-1
Sol 1
At each step i, compute the element X[i] by traversing the array
A and determining the sum of its elements, respectively the
average
Sol 2
At each step i update a sum of the elements in the array A
Compute the element X[i] as sum/I

Suppose the program includes an if-then statement that
may execute or not:  variable running time
Typically algorithms are measured by their worst case
17
Experimental Approach
Write a program that implements the algorithm
Run the program with data sets of varying size.
Determine the actual running time using a system call to measure
time (e.g. system (date) );
Problems?
18
Experimental Approach
It is necessary to implement and test the algorithm in order to
determine its running time.
Experiments can be done only on a limited set of inputs, and may
not be indicative of the running time for other inputs.
The same hardware and software should be used in order to
compare two algorithms. – condition very hard to achieve!
19
Use a Theoretical Approach
Based on high-level description of the algorithms, rather than
language dependent implementations
Makes possible an evaluation of the algorithms that is
independent of the hardware and software environments
20
Algorithm Description
How to describe algorithms independent of a programming
language
Pseudo-Code = a description of an algorithm that is
more structured than usual prose but
less formal than a programming language
(Or diagrams)
Example: find the maximum element of an array.
Algorithm arrayMax(A, n):
Input: An array A storing n integers.
Output: The maximum element in A.
currentMax  A[0]
for i 1 to n -1 do
if currentMax < A[i] then currentMax  A[i]
return currentMax

Relatives of Big-Oh
“Relatives” of the Big-Oh
 (f(n)): Big Omega – asymptotic lower bound
 (f(n)): Big Theta – asymptotic tight bound
Big-Omega – think of it as the inverse of O(n)
g(n) is  (f(n)) if f(n) is O(g(n))
Big-Theta – combine both Big-Oh and Big-Omega
f(n) is  (g(n)) if f(n) is O(g(n)) and g(n) is  (f(n))
Make the difference:
3n+3 is O(n) and is  (n)
3n+3 is O(n2) but is not  (n2)
25
More “relatives”
Little-oh – f(n) is o(g(n)) if for any c>0 there is n0 such that f(n) <
c(g(n)) for n > n0.
Little-omega
Little-theta
2n+3 is o(n2)
2n + 3 is o(n) ?
26
Example
Remember the algorithm for computing prefix averages
compute an array A starting with an array X
every element A[i] is the average of all elements X[j] with j < i
Remember some pseudo-code … Solution 1
Algorithm prefixAverages1(X):
Input: An n-element array X of numbers.
Output: An n -element array A of numbers such that A[i] is the
average of elements X[0], ... , X[i].
Let A be an array of n numbers.
for i 0 to n - 1 do
a0
for j  0 to i do
a  a + X[j]
A[i]  a/(i+ 1)
return array A
27
Example (cont’d)
Algorithm prefixAverages2(X):
Input: An n-element array X of numbers.
Output: An n -element array A of numbers such that A[i] is the
average of elements X[0], ... , X[i].
Let A be an array of n numbers.
s 0
for i  0 to n do
s  s + X[i]
A[i]  s/(i+ 1)
return array A

Some math …
properties of logarithms:
logb(xy) = logbx + logby
logb (x/y) = logbx - logby
logbxa = alogbx

Solving recursive equations by repeated substitution
T(n)
T(n)
= T(n/2) + c
= T(n/4) + c + c
= T(n/8) + c + c + c
= T(n/23) + 3c

= T(n/2k) + kc
substitute for T(n/2)
substitute for T(n/4)
in more compact form
“inductive leap”
= T(n/2logn) + clogn
“choose k = logn”
= T(n/n) + clogn
= T(1) + clogn = b + clogn = θ(logn)

RECURSION
Suppose P is a procedure containing either a CALL statement to
itself or a CALL statement back to original procedure P .Then P
is called a recursive procedure
Properties:
1. There must be certain criteria called basic criteria, for
which the procedure does not call itself.
2. Each time the procedure does call itself (directly or
indirectly), it must be closer to the base criteria.
34
FACTORIAL WITHOUT RECURSION
FACTORIAL(FACT,N)
This procedure calculates N! and return the vale in the variable FACT
.
1. If N ==0,then :Set FACT:=1, and Return.
2. Set FACT:=1[Initialize FACT for loop]
3. Repeat for K:=1 to N
Set FACT:=K*FACT
[END of loop]
4. Return.
35
FACTORIAL WITH RECURSION
FACTORIAL(FACT,N)
This procedure calculates N! and return the vale in the variable FACT .
1. If N ==0,then :Set FACT:=1, and Return.
2. Call FACTORIAL(FACT,N-1).

Stack
A stack is a list that has addition and deletion of items only from one
end.
It is like a stack of plates:
Plates can be added to the top of the stack.
Plates can be removed from the top of the stack.
This is an example of “Last in, First out”, (LIFO).
Adding an item is called “pushing” onto the stack.
Deleting an item is called “popping” off from the stack.
48
STACK OPERATION (PUSH)
PUSH(STACK,TOP,MAXSTK,ITEM)
This procedure pushes an ITEM onto a stack.
1.[Stack already filled]
If TOP== MAXSTK, then: Print:OVERFLOW, and Return.
2. Set TOP:=TOP+1.[ Increases TOP by 1]
3. Set STACK[TOP]:=ITEM. [Inserting ITEM in new TOP position]
4. Return.
49
STACK OPERATION (POP)
POP(STACK,TOP,ITEM)
This procedure deletes the top element of STACK and assigns it to the
variable ITEM .
1.[Stack has an item to be to removed]
If TOP== 0, then: Print:UNDERFLOW, and Return.
2. Set ITEM:=STACK[top].[ Assigns TOP element to ITEM ]
3. Set TOP:=TOP-1. [Decreases TOP by 1]
4. Return.

QUEUES
A queue is a data structure that maintains a “first-in first-out”
(FIFO) ordering.
In contrast, a stack maintains a “last-in first-out” (LIFO) ordering.
A queue adds new elements at the end. An element can only be
removed at the front.
This is an abstraction of the “first-come first-served” practice.
102
QUEUE OPERATIONS
A queue has two operations:
QINSERT
QDELETE
An enqueue operation adds new elements at the end of the queue
or its tail. This is similar to the stack operation push; only that push
now is done at the end of the array instead of at the front (or top).
A dequeue operation removes an element from the front of the
array or its head.
103
QUEUE INSERTION
QINSERT(rear, item)
1. IF rear == MAX_QUEUE_SIZE_1 then
Print queue_full
Return;
2.
INFO [++rear] = item;
104
QUEUE DELETION
QDELETE(front, rear)
1.
IF front == rear then
Return queue_empty( );
Return queue [++ front];

CIRCULAR QUEUE
When a new item is inserted at the rear, the to rear moves
upwards.
Similarly, when an item is deleted from the queue the front arrow
moves downwards.
After a few insert and delete operations the rear might reach the
end of the queue and no more items can be inserted although
the items from the front of the queue have been deleted and
there is space in the queue.
107
CIRCULAR QUEUE
To solve this problem, queues implement wrapping around. Such
queues are called Circular Queues.
Both the front and the rear wrap around to the beginning of the
array when they reached the MAX size of the queue.
It is also called as “Ring buffer”.
108

write: overflow, and Return
2.[Find new value of REAR]
IF FRONT==NULL then [Queue initially empty.]
Set FRONT=1 and REAR=1
ELSE IF REAR ==N then
Set REAR=1

PRIORITY QUEUE
A priority queue is a collection of elements such that each
element has been assigned a priority and such that the order
in which elements are deleted and processed comes from the
following rules
1. An element of a higher priority is processed before any
elements of lower priority
2. Two elements with the same priority are processed according
to the order in which they were added to the queue
115
ARRAY REPRESENTATION PRIORITY QUEUE
Use a separate queue for each level of priority
Each such queue will appear in its own circular array and must
have its own pair of pointers FRONT and REAR
In fact, if each queue is allocated the same amount of space in
two-dimensional array QUEUE can be used instead of linear array
116
DELETION ON PRIORITY QUEUE
Deletion
This algorithm deletes and processes the first element in a
priority queue maintained by a two-dimensional array QUEUE
1.[Find the first nonempty queue]
Find the smallest k that FRONT!=NULL
2.Delete and process the front element in row K of QUEUE
117
INSERTION ON PRIORITY QUEUE
Insertion
This algorithm adds an ITEM with priority number M to a priority
queue maintained by a two-dimensional array QUEUE
1. Insert ITEM as the rear element in row M of QUEUE
2. Exit
118
LINKED LIST
Linked list
Linear collection of self-referential class objects, called nodes
Connected by pointer links
Accessed via a pointer to the first node of the list
Subsequent nodes are accessed via the link-pointer member
of the current node
Link pointer in the last node is set to null to mark the list’s
end
Use a linked list instead of an array when
You have an unpredictable number of data elements
Your list needs to be sorted quickly
119
TYPES OF LINKED LIST
Types of linked lists:
Singly linked list
Begins with a pointer to the first node
Terminates with a null pointer
Only traversed in one direction
Circular, singly linked
Pointer in the last node points back to the first node
Doubly linked list
Two “start pointers” – first element and last element
Each node has a forward pointer and a backward pointer
Allows traversals both forwards and backwards
Circular, doubly linked list
Forward pointer of the last node points to the first node
and backward pointer of the first node points to the last
node
120
linked list
Start Node
A placeholder node at the beginning of the list, used to simplify
list processing. It doesn’t hold any data
Tail Node
A placeholder node at the end of the list, used to simplify list
processing
121
Singly linked list
Single Linked List
Consists of data elements and reference to the
next Node in the linked list
First node is accessed by reference
Last node is set to NULL

2. [Remove first node from AVIL list]
Set NEW =AVAIL and AVAIL=LINK[AVAIL]
3. Set INFO[NEW]=ITEM [Copies new data into new node]
4. Set LINK[NEW]=START [new node now points to original
first node]

Double Linked Lists
Consists of nodes with two linked references one points to the
previous and other to the next node
Maximises the needs of list traversals
Compared to single list inserting and deleting nodes is a bit
slower as both the links had to be updated
It requires the extra storage space for the second list
