This document discusses data structures and algorithms. It defines a data structure as a way of organizing and storing data in a computer for efficient use. Different types of data structures are described, including arrays, stacks, queues, linked lists, trees and graphs. The document also defines an algorithm as a step-by-step plan to solve a computational problem and discusses analyzing algorithms to measure efficiency based on worst case, average case and best case running times. It describes the tradeoff between time and space complexity in algorithm design.
