This document provides an overview of common algorithms and data structures. It begins by defining an algorithm and discussing algorithm analysis techniques like asymptotic analysis. It then covers basic data structures like arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, and trees. It explains various sorting algorithms like selection sort, bubble sort, insertion sort, quicksort, and mergesort. It also discusses search techniques like binary search and binary search trees. Other topics covered include priority queues, hashing, graphs, graph traversal, minimum spanning trees, shortest paths, and string searching algorithms.
