Policies
• Work groups
• You must work alone on all assignments stated unless otherwise
• Submission
• Assignments due at 23:59 (no extensions!)
• Lateness penalties
• No late submission
• Only have one time 2 day late submission
Cheating
• What is cheating?
• Sharing code: by copying, retyping, looking at, or supplying a file
• Coaching: helping your friend to write a programming assignment, line by line
• Copying code from previous course or from elsewhere on WWW
• What is NOT cheating?
• Explaining how to use systems or tools
• Helping others with high-level design issues
Cheating
• Penalty for cheating:
• Removal from course with failing grade
• Detection of cheating:
• We do check: Our tools for doing this are much better than most
cheaters think!

BASIC CONCEPTS
FOR DATA STRUCTURES
Data StructuresàData StructurING
How do we organize information so that we can find,
update, add, and delete portions of it efficiently?
Data Structure Example Applications
• How does Google quickly find web pages that contain a
search term?
• What’s the fastest way to broadcast a message to a network of
computers?
• How can a subsequence of DNA be quickly found within the
genome?
• How does your operating system track which memory (disk or
RAM) is free?
• In the game Half-Life, how can the computer determine which
parts of the scene are visible?
Suppose You’re Google Maps…
• You want to store data about cities (location, elevation,
population)…
What kind of operations should your data structure(s) support?
Operations to support the following scenario…
Finding addresses on map?
• Lookup city by name...
Mobile user?
• Find nearest point to me...
Car GPS system?
• Calculate shortest-path
between cities…
• Show cities within a given
window…
Political revolution?
• Insert, delete, rename cities
How will you count user views on YouTube?
• Lets write a userViewCount() function
int userViewCount (int current_count)
{
int new_count;
new_count =current_count + 1;
return new_count;
}
Will this implementation
work all the time?
How will you count user views on YouTube?
%99.9 times yes.
How will you count user views on YouTube?
YouTube's counter
previously used a 32-bit
integer
YouTube said the video - its
most watched ever - has
been viewed more than
2,147,483,647 times.
It has now changed the
maximum view limit to
9,223,372,036,854,775,808,

30288542
or more than nine quintillion.

How bad can it be?
• June 4, 1996
• Ariane 5 rocket launched by the European Space Agency
• After a decade of development costing $7 Billion
(~21 Billion in Turkish Liras, just for comparison Istanbul’s
third bridge cost estimates are 4.5 Billion TL)
• Exploded just 40 seconds after its lift-off
• The destroyed rocket and its cargo were valued at $500
million
• Reason?
How bad can it be?
• Reason?
• Inertial reference system error: specifically a 64 bit
floating point number relating to the horizontal velocity of
the rocket with respect to the platform was converted to a
16 bit signed integer.
• The number was larger than 32,767, the largest integer
storable in a 16 bit signed integer, and thus the
conversion failed.
• $500 Million rocket/cargo
• Time and effort

Goals
“I will, in fact, claim that the difference between a bad
programmer and a good one is whether he considers his
code or his data structures more important. Bad
programmers worry about the code. Good programmers
worry about data structures and their relationships.”
Linus Torvalds, 2006
Data Structures
A data structure is a way to
store and organize data in
computer, so that it can be
used efficiently.
Some of the more commonly
used data structures include
lists, arrays, stacks, queues,
heaps, trees, and graphs. Binary Tree
Why So Many Data Structures?
• Ideal data structure:
• “fast”, “elegant”, memory efficient
• Generates tensions:
• time vs. space
• performance vs. elegance
• generality vs. simplicity
• one operation’s performance vs. another’s
The study of data structures is the study of
tradeoffs. That’s why we have so many of
them!
