Data Structures: Crash Course Computer Science #14
Today we're going to talk about on how we organize the data we use on our devices. You might remember last episode we walked through some sorting algorithms, but skipped over how the information...

Hi, I'm Carrie Anne, and welcome to Crash Course Computer Science! Last episode, we discussed a few example classic algorithms, like sorting a list of numbers and finding the shortest path in a graph. What we didn’t talk much about, is how the data the algorithms ran on was stored in computer memory. You don’t want your data to be like John Green’s college dorm room, with food, clothing and papers strewn everywhere. Instead, we want our data to be structured, so that it’s organized, allowing things to be easily retrieved and read. For this, computer scientists use Data Structures! INTRO We already introduced one basic data structure last episode, Arrays, also called lists or Vectors in some languages. These are a series of values stored ...
