1. Fundamental Concept - Data Structures using C++ by Varsha Patil
This document provides an overview of key concepts related to data structures and algorithms using C++. It discusses fundamental topics like data types, data objects, abstract data types, and data structures. It also covers algorithms, including their characteristics, design tools like pseudocode and flowcharts, and complexity analysis using Big O notation. Finally, it introduces software engineering concepts like the software development life cycle and its main phases of analysis, design, implementation, testing and verification.
Overview of program design, algorithms, data concepts, ADTs, and SDLC.
Describes program data processing through machine, assembly, and high-level languages.
Explains OOP's role in modeling real-world entities using objects and basic data concepts.
Definition of data, types, objects, and structures, including ADTs and composite data.
Different types of data structures: Primitive, Non-Primitive, Linear, and Non-linear.
Characteristics of algorithms, their importance in software performance, and steps to devise algorithms.
Various ways to represent algorithms including pseudo code, sequence, decision and repetition constructs.
The importance of selecting proper data structures for software success and algorithm performance.
Phases of software development, including analysis, design, implementation, testing, and verification. Summation of computer programming essentials, data structures, algorithms, and their interrelation.
