Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) is a core subject in computer science that focuses on organizing, managing, and processing data efficiently.
- Data Structures: These are ways to store and organize data, such as arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs.
- Algorithms: These are step-by-step procedures or formulas for solving problems, such as searching, sorting, and optimizing computations.
