This document provides an introduction to data structures and algorithms. It discusses key concepts like algorithms, abstract data types (ADTs), data structures, time complexity, and space complexity. It describes common data structures like stacks, queues, linked lists, trees, and graphs. It also covers different ways to classify data structures, the process for selecting an appropriate data structure, and how abstract data types encapsulate both data and functions. The document aims to explain fundamental concepts related to organizing and manipulating data efficiently.
