[Audio] Good morning, everyone! Today we will be discussing basic concepts and introducing algorithms. We will explore the principles of efficient problem solving and how data structures such as stacks help us to understand how elements are organized and managed. We will look at the Last In First Out rule, and discuss how this rule can be applied in various contexts. So let's get started!. 

Scene 1

Session 1  Topic: BASIC CONCEPTS AND INTRODUCTION TO ALGORITHM

[Audio] Algorithms are problem solving plans created to maximize the use of time and resources. There are five key principles to consider when developing an algorithm: efficiency, data handling, drawing and describing, and controlling the steps. By breaking down complex problems into smaller steps, we can create more efficient algorithms. Furthermore, organizing data structures, creating flowcharts and pseudo code, and using loops and conditions are all helpful in understanding the process and controlling the steps. Consequently, an understanding of the basics is essential for creating effective algorithms.. 

Scene 2

There are five principle that logarithm works;

"Solving Problems with Algorithms" Algorithms are like plans made to solve problems. To do this, we break down a big problem into smaller steps. By knowing how to solve problems, we can create good algorithms. "Being Efficient Matters" Algorithms are also judged by how well and quickly they solve problems. Efficient algorithms save time and resources. We look at ways to make algorithms better and faster. "Dealing with Data" Algorithms often work with different types of information, like numbers or words. Knowing how to organize and work with data using structures like arrays or lists is crucial for making good algorithms. "Drawing and Describing" To explain algorithms, we use pictures (flowcharts) and simplified language (pseudo code). Flowcharts show steps with symbols and arrows, while pseudo code is like a simple language to plan and talk about the steps. "Controlling the Steps" Algorithms use things like loops and conditions to control how they run. Loops repeat steps until a condition is met, and conditions decide what the algorithm does based on certain situations. "Putting it All Together" Understanding these basics helps us make efficient and effective algorithms. This knowledge is the base for exploring more about algorithms in areas like computer science, math, and engineering."

[Audio] Finding the quickest and smartest way to do something is what being efficient is about. As an example, to find a book in a library one could peruse each shelf or use a library catalog or ask a librarian to get it directly. This will save time and energy. Similarly, in algorithms, being efficient means solving problems in a resource-saving and speedier manner. For example, the Last In First Out rule of stack data structures can help elucidate this concept.. 

Scene 3

Efficiency is like finding the quickest and smartest way to do something. Think about looking for a book in a library. The smart way is to use a catalog or ask the librarian to get it fast. This saves time and energy. In algorithms, being efficient means solving problems in a quick and clever way, saving resources and making things speedy.“

 for example Imagine you have to find a book in a library. There are two ways to do it:
Inefficient Way:
Start from the first shelf.
Check each book one by one until you find the right one.
Efficient Way:
Use a library catalog or ask the librarian.
Get the book directly without checking every shelf.

[Audio] A stack is a data structure that follows the Last In First Out principle, which implies that the last element added to the structure is the first one that can be taken off. It is similar to a pile of plates in a cafeteria, with the last plate put on the top being the first one taken off. Stacks are beneficial to arrange data in a way that enables easy access to recently added elements.. 

Scene 4

what is a Stack Data Structures? A stack is like a digital pile of plates, where you follow the rule of Last In First Out (LIFO). This means the last plate (or element) you put on top is the first one you take off. It works like a stack of plates in a cafeteria:

[Audio] A stack allows you to add and remove elements in such a way that the last one put in is the first one taken out. This type of data structure is commonly used in programming languages like C, C++, Java, Python, and C#. Its main methods are pushing elements to the top, popping elements from the top, checking if the stack is empty, checking if the stack is full, and peeking at the top element without removing it. The pointer called TOP keeps track of the top element and is set to -1 when the stack is empty. When pushing, TOP's value is increased and the element is added, while when popping, the element at TOP is returned and TOP's value is decreased. It is important to check if the stack is full or empty before pushing or popping.. 

Scene 5

A stack is like a digital pile of plates, where you follow the rule of Last In First Out (LIFO). This means the last plate (or element) you put on top is the first one you take off. It works like a stack of plates in a cafeteria: Adding Plates (Push): You put a new plate on top. Removing Plates (Pop): You take the top plate off. In programming, you can use a stack in languages like C, C++, Java, Python, or C#, and the basic actions are: Push: Adding an element to the top. Pop: Removing an element from the top. Is Empty: Checking if the stack is empty. Is Full: Checking if the stack is full. Peek: Getting the value of the top element without removing it. How it Works: A pointer called TOP keeps track of the top element. When starting, TOP is set to -1 to check if the stack is empty. On push, increase TOP and place the new element there. On pop, return the element at TOP and decrease its value. Check if the stack is full before pushing, and empty before popping

Data Structure and Types

What are Data Structures?
A data structure is like a storage system used to organize and store data on a computer. It's a way of arranging data so that it can be accessed and updated efficiently.

[Audio] We will be examining the fundamentals of data structures in this session. We will begin by looking at both linear and nonlinear data structures and then delve further into linear data structures. Linear data structures are structured so that elements are placed in a sequence. These types of data structures include arrays, stacks, queues, and linked lists. Arrays store elements of the same type in a continuous block of memory and each element has an index that makes it simple to access. Stacks are implemented with the Last In First Out (LIFO) principle where operations are conducted from the top. Conversely, queues are built with the First In First Out (FIFO) principle and operations are conducted from both ends. Lastly, linked lists store data in nodes that are connected and each node also contains the address of the following node.. 

Scene 6

Types of Data Structures: Linear Data Structures: Elements are arranged one after another in a sequence. Examples include Arrays, Stacks, Queues, and Linked Lists. Non-linear Data Structures: Elements are not in a specific order but are arranged hierarchically. Divided into Graphs and Trees. Linear Data Structures: Array Data Structure: Elements stored in continuous memory with the same type. Each element has an index for easy access. Stack Data Structure: Follows Last In First Out (LIFO) principle. Operations (like adding or removing) are performed from one end (top). Queue Data Structure: Follows First In First Out (FIFO) principle. Operations (addition and removal) are performed from separate ends. Linked List Data Structure: Data elements connected through nodes. Each node contains data and the address to the next node.

[Audio] We delved into the various data structures - Graphs, Trees, and Linear and Non-Linear structures - and examined the distinctions between them, the relative time and memory complexity, and the significance of comprehending these data structures. We explored how having this know-how assists developers in making more informed decisions for better program performance. Having an awareness of data structures and being able to select the correct ones for any given task is essential to authoring efficient, optimized code.. 

Scene 7

Graph Data Structure: Nodes (vertices) connected by edges. Forms a network-like structure. Tree Data Structure: Collection of vertices and edges with only one edge between two vertices. Hierarchical structure. Linear vs. Non-linear Data Structures: Linear structures have sequential order, while non-linear structures have a hierarchical arrangement. Linear structures are all on one layer, non-linear structures have different layers. Linear structures can be traversed in a single run, while non-linear structures may require multiple runs. Linear structures may not use memory efficiently, whereas non-linear structures adapt memory use based on need. Time complexity increases with data size in linear structures, while it remains the same in non-linear structures. Why Data Structure? Understanding data structures helps in selecting the right ones for projects, leading to memory and time-efficient code.  Knowledge about different data structures allows developers to make informed choices for better program performance.

[Audio] Without beginning with Today and without greetings, We discussed "Basic Concepts and Introduction to Algorithm" in Session 1 and we deep dove into the Queue Data Structure in Session 4. As a reminder, a queue is a data structure that follows the First In First Out rule, meaning the first item put into the queue is the first one to be removed. In programming language, we add items to a queue using the 'enqueue' function and remove items using the 'dequeue' function. I hope you found this informative and I thank you for your attention.. 

Scene 8

Session 4 Topic: Queue Data Structure Queue Data Structure:
 What is Queue Data Structure? A queue is like the line outside a cinema where the first person in line is the first to get a ticket. It follows the First In First Out (FIFO) rule - the first item in is the first one out. Example: If 1 was in the queue before 2, 1 will be removed first. This follows the FIFO rule. In programming, putting items in is en queue, and removing items is DE queue.
