Implementing Merge Sort, BFS, and DFS Algorithms in C

Fundamental Algorithms in C Programming

This document provides C implementations for three core algorithms: Merge Sort for efficient sorting, and Breadth-First Search (BFS) and Depth-First Search (DFS) for graph traversal.

1. Merge Sort Implementation

Merge Sort is a divide-and-conquer algorithm. The following code demonstrates the recursive sorting function and the main driver program. (Note: The required merge function definition is assumed but not included in this snippet.)

Singly Linked List (SLL) Implementation in Java

Singly Linked List: Insertion Operations

This section demonstrates the basic structure and insertion methods for a Singly Linked List.

public class SinglyList {
    private Node head;

    private class Node {
        int data;
        Node next;
    }

    public boolean isEmpty() {
        return (head == null);
    }

    public void insertFirst(int data) {
        Node newNode = new Node();
        newNode.data = data;
        newNode.next = head;

C Language Data Structures and Algorithms

This document presents fundamental data structures and algorithms implemented in C. Each section provides a complete code example, demonstrating core concepts like stack operations, sorting, searching, and mathematical functions.

Stack Data Structure: Interactive Operations

A stack is a Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) data structure. This C program demonstrates a basic array-based stack implementation with interactive functions for pushing, popping, peeking, and

Operating System Processes

Process View: The Illusion of Exclusivity

A process is essentially a running instance of a program. One of the key abstractions that the Operating System (OS) provides is the illusion that each process has exclusive access to the CPU and memory. However, in reality, the CPU and memory are shared among multiple processes.

How the Illusion is Created

  • CPU Time Sharing: The OS rapidly switches between processes (context switching) so that it seems each process has its own CPU.

Implementing Stack, Queue, and Deque Data Structures

This document provides implementations of three fundamental data structures: Stack, Queue, and Deque. Each data structure is presented with code examples in both Python and C++, demonstrating their core functionalities using linked lists.

Stack Data Structure (LIFO)

A Stack is a Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) data structure. Elements are added and removed from the same end, often referred to as the “top” of the stack.

Python Stack Implementation

The Python implementation uses a simple Node class to build
