The course is divided into 5 sections covering fundamental data structure concepts, arrays, stacks and queues, linked lists, trees, graphs, and searching and sorting algorithms. Students will be assessed through 5 tests and 4 programming assignments. The course aims to provide students with hands-on experience implementing various data structures and algorithms in C/C++. Key topics include arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, sorting, searching, complexity analysis, and various operations on each data structure.
