I simply love this course! until taking this, I never would have possibly imagined that recursion and I could become great friends. As the name suggests you basically deal with real more realistic data and how to go about storing them.

Introduction

Data structures are imperative to Computer Science, and arrays are just the beginning. Data Structures and Algorithms teaches implementation of various data structures (such as trees or tables), ways of storing data in a computer and algorithms for manipulating the data efficiently. This course will also discuss the performance characteristics for each data structure which will help to make good decisions on selecting an appropriate data structure for a particular application.

I simply love this course! until taking this, I never would have possibly imagined that recursion and I could become such great friends. As the name suggests you basically deal with real more realistic data and how to go about storing them.
