Data Structures in C++

Core data structures, built from the ground up in C++

This intermediate course walks through data structures the way a computer science curriculum would: starting with linked lists and doubly linked lists, then moving into Abstract Data Types — the idea that a structure is defined by what it must do, not how it's built. A stack, for instance, is defined by its push and pop operations.

Who it's for

Programmers with some C++ experience who want to understand the mechanics behind the structures they already use, or who are preparing for technical interviews and coursework that assumes this foundation.

Key takeaways

• Implementing singly and doubly linked lists in C++
• The concept of an Abstract Data Type and why it matters
• Building a Stack and a Queue from defined operations
• Working with Binary Search Trees and Min/Max Heaps

The progression from linked lists to trees and heaps gives a solid base for further algorithms and interview prep.
