Stacks and Queues: Selecting the Ideal Data Structure
There are a variety of ways for storing and managing data in your program and the choice of the right data structure has an effect on the readability of your code, ease of writing, and performance. Python has a wide selection of built-in mechanisms that meet most of your data structure needs. This course introduces you to three types of data structures: stacks, queues, and priority queues.
There are multiple types and classes for all of these data structures and this course discusses them and provides information on how to choose the right one.
In this course you’ll learn about:
- How stacks are defined with Last-In/First-Out (LIFO) semantics
- How to use the collections.deque object
- How concurrency will affect
