What are Data Structures?

Data Structures are typically used to organize, process, retrieve and store data on computers for efficient use. Having the right understanding and using the right data structures helps software engineers write the right code.

What are the types of Data Structures?

There are two types of Data structures -

Why are Data Structures important?

Data structures are a key component of Computer Science and help in understanding the nature of a given problem at a deeper level. They're widely utilized in Artificial Intelligence, operating systems, graphics, and other fields. If the programmer is unfamiliar with data structure and Algorithm, they may be unable to write efficient data-handling code.

I am elated to share that I have joined Townscript as a Software Engineer. All thanks to Scaler Academy for providing me with the guidance, skills, and knowledge I needed. When it comes to preparing for Product companies, there is a vast ocean of resources where one can easily get lost. But the curriculum at Scaler is well-framed and industry-vetted that I was able to learn all that is expected of a Software Engineer. Not only did I learn DSA, but also brushed my core skills which will remain with me for the rest of my life. I would like to thank the team for creating Scaler Academy, the best of its kind. Special thanks to my mentor for guiding me & sharing his valuable experiences that helped me learn better. Not to forget the amazing peers who have been a constant motivation in this journey. Lastly, thanks to the recruiter team who helped me find this amazing opportunity.

I am happy to share that I have joined ThoughtWorks as an Application Developer. After experiencing a couple of failed & awkward interviews, I realized I needed to work on my skills in order to crack them. From building the foundations of DSA to simplifying the concepts of System Design, the program delivered EXACTLY what it said. Even the teachers and TAs tackled each problem in an easy and well-defined structure. The curriculum here is well thought out which added discipline to my routine. It was only after I joined Scaler Academy I received offers from multiple companies, that honestly felt unreal. Thanks to Scaler for creating this platform and a big shoutout to my mentors who not only guided me but also made a proper roadmap for me to be able to achieve success in interviews. I would also like to thank the recruitment team for their help and support.

I am pleased to share that I have joined WorkSpan as a Software Engineer. For this, I would like to thank Scaler Academy for teaching me how to think rather than only showing me the ways to solve a problem. Thanks to the Scaler team for teaching how large-scale systems are built. Other than that, thanks to all the instructors for teaching structures & algorithms, backend development and for teaching me recursion, concurrency, and Redis. This program has also made me strong in computer fundamentals (CN, DBMS & OS). Lastly, I would like to thank the recruiter team for arranging interviews with the companies.
