WHAT MAKES DATA STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHMS

ESSENTIAL TO YOU AS A COMPUTING STUDIES

STUDENT?

What makes Data Structures and Algorithms important to us is that it allows us

sets of techniques for using data effectively. With Data Structures we learn on
how computer stores the data in memory which can then be retrieved, updated,
stored. But that doesn’t mean that computer are the only one using data structure
any programming software uses it to as well.

 And as for Algorithms they are the building blocks for any code that we wrote.
Most algorithms are extremely specialized and are very good at doing one thing.
For example, sorting algorithms are to order items into data structures such as
arrays, linked lists, etc… Algorithms are optimized and tested for us so we can
use them to make our code more efficient.

And if we Use the combination of Data structure and Algorithms, we can improve
performance of a program drastically and if us as a programmer Don’t know
about Data Structure and Algorithm on how they work he/she may not be able to
write a efficient code for handling data.
