Pointer-Based Data Structures — Arrays, Linked Lists, Stacks, Queues & Trees Explained | Chapter 10 of Intro to Algorithms Foundational data structures shape the way software manages and manipulates information. Chapter 10 of introduction to algorithms introduces essential pointer-based data structures, including arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, and tree representations. These structures are critical for building more advanced algorithms and are the backbone of dynamic memory management, search, and efficient computation. Prefer a guided audio explanation?

Array-Based Structures: Arrays, Matrices, Stacks, and Queues Arrays store elements in contiguous memory and provide constant-time access by index. While arrays are efficient for reading and writing elements, they are inflexible for dynamic operations like frequent insertio...
