OBJECTIVES:

The student should be made to:

 Be familiar with the basics of C programming language.

 Be exposed to the concepts of ADTs

 Learn linear data structures – list, stack, and queue.

 Be exposed to sorting, searching, hashing algorithms

UNIT I C PROGRAMMING FUNDAMENTALS- A REVIEW 9

       Conditional statements – Control statements – Functions – Arrays – Preprocessor - Pointers -
       Variation in pointer declarations – Function Pointers – Function with Variable number of arguments

UNIT II C PROGRAMMING ADVANCED FEATURES 9

        Structures and Unions - File handling concepts – File read – write – binary and Stdio - File
        Manipulations

UNIT III LINEAR DATA STRUCTURES – LIST 9

         Abstract Data Types (ADTs) – List ADT – array-based implementation – linked list implementation –
         singly linked lists- circularly linked lists- doubly-linked lists – applications of lists –Polynomial
         Manipulation – All operation (Insertion, Deletion, Merge, Traversal)


UNIT IV LINEAR DATA STRUCTURES – STACKS, QUEUES 9

        Stack ADT – Evaluating arithmetic expressions- other applications- Queue ADT – circular queue
        implementation – Double ended Queues – applications of queues

UNIT V SORTING, SEARCHING AND HASH TECHNIQUES 9

       Sorting algorithms: Insertion sort - Selection sort - Shell sort - Bubble sort - Quick sort - Merge sort -
       Radix sort – Searching: Linear search –Binary Search Hashing: Hash Functions – Separate
       Chaining – Open Addressing – Rehashing – Extendible Hashing.
