Overview of this book

Data structures allow you to organize data in a particular way efficiently. They are critical to any problem, provide a complete solution, and act like reusable code. In this book, you will learn the essential Python data structures and the most common algorithms. With this easy-to-read book, you will be able to understand the power of linked lists, double linked lists, and circular linked lists. You will be able to create complex data structures such as graphs, stacks and queues. We will explore the application of binary searches and binary search trees. You will learn the common techniques and structures used in tasks such as preprocessing, modeling, and transforming data. We will also discuss how to organize your code in a manageable, consistent, and extendable way. The book will explore in detail sorting algorithms such as bubble sort, selection sort, insertion sort, and merge sort. By the end of the book, you will learn how to build components that are easy to understand, debug, and use in different applications.

Data visualization

Numerical analysis does not sometimes lend itself to easy understanding. Indeed, a single image is worth 1,000 words and in this section, an image would be worth 1,000 tables comprised of numbers only. Images present a quick way to analyze data. Differences in size and lengths are quick markers in an image upon which conclusions can be drawn. In this section, we will take a tour of the different ways to represent data. Besides the graphs listed here, there is more that can be achieved when chatting data.

Bar chart

To chart the values 25, 5, 150, and 100 into a bar graph, we will store the values in an array and pass it to the bar function. The bars in the graph represent the magnitude along the y-axis:
