The temp.pdf PDF document uses the PDF specification 1.3. The '%' character is a comment in PDF, so the above example actually presents the first and second line being comments, which is true for all PDF documents. The following bytes are taken from the output below: 2550 4446 2d31 2e33 0a25 c4e5 and correspond to the ASCII text "%PDF-1.3.%". What follows are some ASCII characters that are using non-printable characters (note the '.' dots), which are usually there to tell some of the software products that the file contains binary data and shouldn't be treated as 7-bit ASCII text. Currently the version numbers are of the form 1.N, where the N is from range 0-7.
In the body of the PDF document, there are objects that typically include text streams, images, other multimedia elements, etc. The Body section is used to hold all the document's data being shown to the user.
A stream object is represented by a sequence of bytes and may be unlimited in length, which is why images and other big data blocks are usually represented as streams. A stream object is represented by a dictionary object followed by the keywords stream followed by newline and endstream.
All stream objects shall be indirect objects and the stream dictionary shall be a direct object. The stream dictionary specifies the exact number of bytes of the stream. After the data there should be a newline and the endstream keyword.
We can compile the .tex document into the PDF document with the pdflatex command and specifying the name of the .tex file as an argument. The resulting PDF then looks like this shown in the picture below:
The /Length specifies the length of the encryption key in bits; the value should be multiple of 8 in the range 40 t o128 (default value is 40). In our case, the length of the encryption key is 60 bits. The /Filter specifies the name of the security handler for this document; this is also the security handler that was used to encrypt the document. In our case, this is FlateDecode, which encodes the data using zlib/deflate compression method.
Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs[1] is a 1976 book written by Niklaus Wirth covering some of the fundamental topics of system engineering, computer programming, particularly that algorithms and data structures are inherently related. For example, if one has a sorted list one will use a search algorithm optimal for sorted lists.
Building efficient concurrent data structures that scale to the level of GPU parallelism is a challenging problem. Solutions designed for the CPU do not scale to the thousands of cores that modern GPUs offer. In this dissertation, we show how to efficiently build a lock-based B-Tree on the GPU; then, we show how to extend the B-Tree to support snapshots and linearizable multipoint queries. Finally, we show how to compose a special-purpose data structure from general-purpose ones (e.g., hash tables) and discuss the design decisions that make composing data structures easy.
Finally, we show how to compose a graph data structure from general-purpose hash tables resulting in a hash-based graph data structure that excels at updates and point queries. Our graph data structure outperforms sorted-array-based solutions. The design of the data structure is a general one such that we can replace the hash tables with a B-Tree to address graph problems that require sorted adjacency lists.
Offered as an introduction to the field of data structures and algorithms, Open Data Structures covers the implementation and analysis of data structures for sequences (lists), queues, priority queues, unordered dictionaries, ordered dictionaries, and graphs. Focusing on a mathematically rigorous approach that is fast, practical, and efficient, Morin clearly and briskly presents instruction along with source code.
Analyzed and implemented in Java, the data structures presented in the book include stacks, queues, deques, and lists implemented as arrays and linked-lists; space-efficient implementations of lists; skip lists; hash tables and hash codes; binary search trees including treaps, scapegoat trees, and red-black trees; integer searching structures including binary tries, x-fast tries, and y-fast tries; heaps, including implicit binary heaps and randomized meldable heaps; graphs, including adjacency matrix and adjacency list representations; and B-trees.
A modern treatment of an essential computer science topic, Open Data Structures is a measured balance between classical topics and state-of-the art structures that will serve the needs of all undergraduate students or self-directed learners.

Data structures are the building blocks of any computer program as they help in organizing and manipulating data in an efficient manner. Without data structures, the computer would be unable to understand how to follow a program's instructions properly. It also defines their relationship with one another.
Arrays, Linked Lists, Stacks, Queues, and others are examples of Data Structure. Data structures also provide clarity, organization and structure to the program's code while also helping the programmer ensure that each line of code performs its function correctly.
A data structure is a mechanical or logical way that data is organized within a program. The organization of data is what determines how a program performs. There are many types of data structures, each with its own uses. When designing code, we need to pay particular attention to the way data is structured. If data isn't stored efficiently or correctly structured, then the overall performance of the code will be reduced.
Data structures serve a number of important functions in a program. They ensure that each line of code performs its function correctly and efficiently, they help the programmer identify and fix problems with his/her code, and they help to create a clear and organized code base.
A stack is a data structure that is used to represent the state of an application at a particular point in time. The stack consists of a series of items that are added to the top of the stack and then removed from the top. It is a linear data structure that follows a particular order in which operations are performed. LIFO (Last In First Out) or FILO (First In Last Out) are two possible orders. A stack consists of a sequence of items. The element that's added last will come out first, a real-life example might be a stack of clothes on top of each other. When we remove the cloth that was previously on top, we can say that the cloth that was added last comes out first.
A queue is a linear data structure that allows users to store items in a list in a systematic manner. The items are added to the queue at the rear end until they are full, at which point they are removed from the queue from the front. Queues are commonly used in situations where the users want to hold items for a long period of time, such as during a checkout process. A good example of a queue is any queue of customers for a resource where the first consumer is served first.
Array data structures are commonly used in databases and other computer systems to store large amounts of data efficiently. They are also useful for storing information that is frequently accessed, such as large amounts of text or images.
1. Singly Linked List: A singly linked list is a data structure that is used to store multiple items. The items are linked together using the key. The key is used to identify the item and is usually a unique identifier. In a singly linked list, each item is stored in a separate node. The node can be a single object or it can be a collection of objects. When an item is added to the list, the node is updated and the new item is added to the end of the list. When an item is removed from the list, the node that contains the removed item is deleted and its place is taken by another node. The key of a singly linked list can be any type of data structure that can be used to identify an object. For example, it could be an integer, a string, or even another singly linked list. Singly-linked lists are useful for storing many different types of data. For example, they are commonly used to store lists of items such as grocery lists or patient records. They are also useful for storing data that is time sensitive such as stock market prices or flight schedules.
2. Doubly Linked List: A doubly linked list is a data structure that allows for two-way data access such that each node in the list points to the next node in the list and also points back to its previous node. In a doubly linked list, each node can be accessed by its address, and the contents of the node can be accessed by its index. It's ideal for applications that need to access large amounts of data in a fast manner. A disadvantage of a doubly linked list is that it is more difficult to maintain than a single-linked list. In addition, it is more difficult to add and remove nodes than in a single-linked list.
