NIELIT A Level DATA STRUCTURE THROUGH C++ Syllabus

Objective of the Course

The objective of the course is to introduce the fundamentals of Data Structures, Abstract concepts and how these concepts are useful in problem solving.

After completion of this course student will be able to -

  • To Understand and the concepts of object oriented language such as c++
  • Analyze step by step and develop algorithms to solve real world problems.
  • Implementing various data structures viz. Stacks, Queues, Linked Lists, Trees and Graphs.
  • Understanding various searching & sorting techniques.
