Introduction

This repository aims to help you understand and implement various data structures and algorithms in C++. Each topic includes a detailed explanation, example code, and sample problems to practice.

Why C++ for DSA ?

 

C++ is a powerful language that is widely used in competitive programming and software development due to its efficiency and control over system resources. It provides various features such as:

• Standard Template Library (STL): Offers a rich set of template classes and functions.
• Performance: C++ is known for its high performance and fine-grained control over memory.
• Flexibility: Supports both high-level and low-level programming.

Essential Concept of C and C++

To effectively use this repository, a good understanding of the following C++ concepts is recommended:

• Basic Syntax: Variables, Data Types, Operators, and Control Flow (if, else, switch, loops)

• Functions: Declaration, Definition, Overloading, and Inline Functions

• Pointers and References: Pointer Arithmetic, Dereferencing, Function Pointers, and Reference Variables

• Dynamic Memory Allocation: new, delete, malloc, free

• Templates: Function Templates, Class Templates, and the Standard Template Library (STL)

• Recursion: Base Cases, Recursive Calls, and Stack Memory Usage

• Strings: Manipulation, Functions, and Usage in C++ (std::string and C-Style Strings)
