Data Structures: Crash Course Computer Science #14

Learning Resource Type

Classroom Resource

Subject Area

Digital Literacy and Computer Science

Grade(s)

9, 10, 11, 12

Overview

This video will talk about how we organize the data we use on our devices. You might remember last episode, Intro to Algorithms: Crash Course Computer Science #13,  we walked through some sorting algorithms, but skipped over how the information actually got there in the first place! And it is this ability to store and access information in a structured and meaningful way that is crucial to programming. From strings, pointers, and nodes, to heaps, trees, and stacks, get ready for an ARRAY of new terminology and concepts.
