C# Data Structures and Algorithms

By: Marcin Jamro

Overview of this book

Data structures allow organizing data efficiently. They are critical to various problems and their suitable implementation can provide a complete solution that acts like reusable code. In this book, you will learn how to use various data structures while developing in the C# language as well as how to implement some of the most common algorithms used with such data structures. At the beginning, you will get to know arrays, lists, dictionaries, and sets together with real-world examples of your application. Then, you will learn how to create and use stacks and queues. In the following part of the book, the more complex data structures will be introduced, namely trees and graphs, together with some algorithms for searching the shortest path in a graph. We will also discuss how to organize the code in a manageable, consistent, and extendable way. By the end of the book,you will learn how to build components that are easy to understand, debug, and use in different applications.

Chapter 7. Summary

While reading many pages of this book, you have learned a lot about various data structures and algorithms that you can use while developing applications in the C# language. Arrays, lists, stacks, queues, dictionaries, hash sets, trees, heaps, and graphs, as well as accompanying algorithms—it's quite a broad range of subjects, isn't it? Now it is high time to summarize this knowledge, as well as to remind you about some specific applications for particular structures.

First, you will see a brief classification of data structures, divided into two groups, namely linear and non-linear. Then, the topic of diversity of applications of various data structures is taken into account. You will see a short summary of each described data structure, as well as information about some problems which can be solved with the use of a particular data structure.

Are you ready to start reading the last chapter? If so, let's enjoy it and see how many topics you have learned while reading all...
