Unit I Introduction to Algorithm and Data Structures Introduction : From Problem to Program (Problem, Solution, Algorithm, Data Structure and Program). Data Structures : Data, Information, Knowledge, and Data structure, Abstract Data Types (ADT), Data Structure Classification (Linear and Non-linear, Static and Dynamic, Persistent and Ephemeral data structures). Algorithms : Problem Solving, Introduction to algorithm, Characteristics of algorithm, Algorithm design tools: Pseudo-code and flowchart. Complexity of algorithm : Space complexity, Time complexity, Asymptotic notation- Big-O, Theta and Omega, finding complexity using step count method, Analysis of programming constructs-Linear, Quadratic, Cubic, Logarithmic. Algorithmic Strategies : Introduction to algorithm design strategies- Divide and Conquer, and Greedy strategy.
