Record - Answer- Data structure that stores subitems, w/ names associated w/ each
subitem
Array - Answer- Data structure that stores an ordered list of items, w/ each item
directly accessible by a positional index.
Linked List - Answer- Data structure that stores an ordered list as nodes, each node
stores data and has a pointer to the next node.
Binary Tree - Answer- Data structure where each node stores data and has up to
two children, left child and right child.
Hash Table - Answer- Data structure that stores unordered items by mapping each
item to a location in an array.
Max Heap - Answer- Tree that maintains the simple property that a node's key is
greater than or equal to a node's children key.
Min Heap - Answer- A tree that maintains simple property that node's key is less
than or equal to the node's children key.
Graph - Answer- Represents connections among items. Consists of vertices and
edges. Vertex represents an item on a graph. Edges represent a connection
between two vertices.
Abstract Data Type (ADT) - Answer- Data type described by predefined user
operations. Does not say anything about the implementation.
List - Answer- Common ADT for holding ordered data.Like an array. Can store ints,
strings.
Ex. nums = [5, 25, 30]
Queue - Answer- ADT where items are inserted at the end of the queue and
removed at the front of the queue. First in first out ADT.
push - inserts items at the end of the queue
pop - removes and returns the item at the front of the queue.
Dictionary - Answer- Maps keys to values. Uses {}. The value can be number,string,
or tuple. Can be any type.
ex. players = {
'Lionel Messi': 10,
'Christiano Ronaldo': 7
}
If else statement - Answer- Branching directs programs to execute either one group
of statements or another.
, ex.
if expression:
# Statements to execute when expression is true
else:
# Statements to execute when expression is false
# Statements here execute after the if-else.
Multiple if else statements - Answer- elif used when two or more branches.
if age <= 15:
print('Too young for car insurance.')
price = 0
elif age <= 24:
price = age_16_to_24
elif age <= 39:
price = age_25_to_39
else:
price = age_40_up
Boolean Operators - Answer- In python must True / False must be capitalized.
Has 3 operators: and / or / not
(age > 16) and (age < 25)
(age > 16) or (days > 10)
not (days > 10)
Membership Operators - Answer- not , in
Cannot check for values but can check for keys.
ex.
my_dict = {'A': 1, 'B': 2, 'C': 3}
if 'B' in my_dict:
print("Found 'B'")
else:
print("'B' not found")
# Membership operator does not check values
if 3 in my_dict:
print('Found 3')
else:
print('3 not found')
reversed() - Answer- Iterates over a for loop backwards.
ex.
print('\nPrinting in reverse:')
for name in reversed(names):
print(name, '|', end=' ')
Function - Answer- Named series of statements. Invoking a function is called a
function call, which causes a function to execute.
Ex.
