When a program attempts to search a data structure for a particular item, it uses an algorithm. An algorithm is a process, defined in code, for carrying out a specific task.

Learn when and how to use different data structures and their algorithms in your own code. This is harder as a student, as the problem assignments you'll work through just won't impart this knowledge.

When choosing a data structure or algorithm, you will sometimes discover an inverse relationship between memory usage and CPU time: the less memory a data structure uses, the more CPU time ...

1 Design, select and implement key data structures in C++. 2 Implement algorithms using these data structures to solve practical problem scenarios. 3 Analyze, compare and classify algorithms. 4 Using ...
