What do you mean by Data Structures and Algorithms?

Data Structure:

    Data structure is the various ways of organizing the data on your computer such that it can be used effectively and efficiently.

 

Use of Data structure:

In our day to day life we can easily see the use of Data Structure such as follows:

•     Standing in the queue for getting the movie ticket.  
  

•  Stacking up books one on another.

Suppose in the above two example if the people will not be the queue what will happen we all knows there will be a total ciaos. Similarly if all the books are not stack it will become difficult for us to recognize the name of which book do we want and there will be a complete mess.

 

Algorithm:

    Set of instruction to accomplish certain task. 

Let's find few examples where these Algorithms are used:

• Compression Algorithm:

  Have you ever wondered how these big tech company manage the huge chunk of videos during the live stream they uses compression algorithm to do so, called video compression Algorithm.
  

• Graph Algorithm:

  Have you ever think how the Google Maps work they actually uses the shortest path finding algorithm between two point however it is not confirmed but some says Dijkstra's algorithm is used to do so.
  

• Optimization & Scheduling Algorithm:

  Nasa uses optimization and scheduling algorithm to place the array of solar planes so that it could receive the maximum sunlight from the sun.
