Explore what data structure is and why it matters, including linear and non-linear types. Review arrays, stacks, linked lists, trees, and graphs, and cover array properties and graph basics.
Explore what an array is, how to declare and use its single and multidimensional forms, and how elements of the same data type are accessed by index in contiguous memory.
Create and populate an integer array from 1 to 12, then use a for loop to print each element and display the five times table by multiplying elements by five.
Reverse an array out of place in C++ by using a second array and a for loop to store elements from the original in reverse order, printing 54321.
Explore the stack data structure, its last in, first out behavior, and core operations push, pop, top, size, empty, and full, plus static and dynamic, including array-based implementations.
Implement a fixed-size array stack in C++ with top, is empty, is full, push, pop, get/top, and print. Push 5, 10, 15, 20; top, pop, push 7 to illustrate LIFO.
Implement a C++ stack using an array of size 100 with top initialized to -1, and provide push, pop, isEmpty, isFull, getTop, and print.
Explain what a queue is, a first in, first out data structure, with enqueue and dequeue operations and static (arrays) and dynamic (linked list) implementations.
Learn to implement a queue from scratch using a 100-element array, with is empty, is full, enqueue, dequeue, get front, and display operations, including a circular queue wraparound.
Develop a circular queue in C++ using an array with front and rear indices, supporting empty/full checks, enqueue, dequeue, peak, and display with modulus wraparound.
Are you new to data structures and want to understand how they work in real programming? This course is the perfect starting point.
"Data Structures with C++ – Part 1" is a beginner-friendly course designed to help you build a solid foundation in data structures using the C++ programming language. Whether you're a computer science student, a coding enthusiast, or preparing for technical interviews, this course will teach you how data is organized, stored, and manipulated effectively in memory.
We start with the basics: What are data structures and why do they matter? From there, we dive into one of the most important parts of programming—arrays, stacks, and queues. You’ll learn how to declare, use, and implement these data structures with step-by-step explanations and practical examples.
What you’ll learn:
The fundamentals of data structures and their real-life applications.
How to work with arrays, their types, and how to declare them in C++.
Understand and implement stacks, including stack operations and types.
Learn about queues, their variations, and practical implementations.
Strengthen your problem-solving and logical thinking skills.
Course Features:
Easy-to-follow, structured lessons
Hands-on implementation examples in C++
Suitable for students, beginners, and self-learners
Lifetime access and downloadable resources
By the end of this course, you will have a clear understanding of the basic data structures and how to implement them efficiently using C++. This is Part 1 of a multi-part series, so you'll be well-prepared to dive into more advanced structures like linked lists, trees, and graphs in the next part.
