Data Structures from Basis to Advance Level using C

The Data Structures using C Programming for Beginners course is designed for individuals with little to no prior knowledge of data structures who wish to learn and implement these essential concepts using the C programming language. This course provides a strong foundation in data structures, covering topics such as arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, hashing, and sorting algorithms.

The course begins with an introduction to data structures and their importance in programming. It then explains how to implement and manipulate data structures using C. Topics such as dynamic memory allocation, recursion, and pointers are also covered to give students the tools needed to build and optimize data structures effectively.

Students will learn how to work with linear data structures like arrays, stacks, and queues, as well as nonlinear structures like trees and graphs. Emphasis will be placed on understanding their real-world applications, advantages, and limitations. Practical coding exercises will ensure that students gain hands-on experience in implementing these structures.

The course concludes with advanced topics, such as hashing techniques and sorting algorithms, ensuring students are equipped to solve complex computational problems efficiently.

Throughout the course, students will complete assignments, solve over 100+ programming problems, and take quizzes to reinforce their understanding. By the end of the course, students will have a clear understanding of data structures and the confidence to apply them in real-world scenarios.
