What Representation of Data Structure in Memory Known as?

Representation of data structure in memory is known as Abstract Data Type. Abstract data types can be a list, stack, or queue which will be used to represent different data structures in memory. What is Abstract Data Type ? An abstract data type is a concept that tells us about the operations and data on which the operations can be performed without showing its ...

What is Bipartite Graph?

A bipartite graph (also referred to as a bigraph), is a graph whose vertices can be segregated into two disjoint sets such that no two vertices in the same set have an edge between them. They are equivalent to two-colorable graphs (a graph that can be colored with two colors such that no two adjacent ...

What are the Types of Linked Lists in Data Structure?

Linked List is a linear data structure that consists of nodes. Each node in the linked list has both “data” and “links” i.e pointers of the next or previous nodes or both. These nodes are connected to the adjacent nodes using links or pointers. The nodes in the linked lists need not be stored at contiguous memory locations. This article mainly explains ...

What is the Structure or Format of Data Called?

The structure or format of data is called the Syntax, which is defined by various combinations of pre-defined symbols in a programming language. What is Syntax? A Syntax in a programming language is the set of rules that defines a particular language, by defining the correct arrangements of the symbols which are pre-defined in a particular language eg: “;” , “->” , ...

What is Hamming code?

When we are transmitting data from sender to receiver, there might be a chance of error in the data while transmitting, Hamming code is the set of codes that helps in error detection as well as error correction in the data during transmission. The prerequisite for understanding the basics of error detection and correction can ...

Which Data Structure May Produce an Overflow Error?

Overflow error is an error that happens when a program receives a number, value or variable outside the scope of its ability to handle. Takeaways A linear queue can throw an Overflow error even if it has empty spaces for elements in it. Which Data Structure May Produce an Overflow Error? Correct Answer a. A Linear Queue can produce an ...

Word Break Problem

Problem Statement In the word break problem, you will be given a string, say s, and a dictionary of strings say wordDict. The wordDict will contain several strings. Now, our job is to determine if we can break or segment the string using the words in the dictionary. If we can do that, then we return a True, otherwise, ...
