Data structures are the backbone of computer science, providing the foundation for designing efficient algorithms and solving complex computational problems. Data Structures in C: Foundations and Applications is designed to offer a comprehensive introduction to fundamental data structure concepts through the C programming language.Whether you are a beginner aiming to grasp core programming principles or an intermediate learner looking to deepen your understanding of data structures, this book serves as a structured guide to both theoretical and practical aspects of this essential subject. With a focus on clarity and hands-on learning, it helps readers build a solid foundation while mastering practical implementations in C.The book starts with fundamental concepts such as arrays, stacks, queues, and linked lists before advancing to more complex topics like trees, graphs, and hashing. Each chapter presents clear explanations, followed by practical examples and code implementations. Essential operations like insertion, deletion, traversal, and sorting are discussed in detail, with algorithmic analysis to evaluate their efficiency.A unique aspect of this book is its emphasis on real-world applications of data structures. From memory management to algorithm design, understanding how data is stored, organized, and manipulated enhances problem-solving skills in programming. To reinforce learning, the book includes numerous exercises, multiple-choice questions, and lab programs for hands-on experience. Additionally, it addresses the needs of students and professionals by covering university examination questions and real-world coding challenges, making it a valuable resource for both self-study and formal coursework.By the end of this book, readers will not only develop a strong conceptual understanding of data structures but also gain confidence in implementing and applying them effectively in programming projects. We encourage readers to experiment with the code, tackle exercises, and apply the concepts to practical problems.Your journey into computer science begins here—with a strong foundation in data structures and C programming.
