okay, buckle up! 15 minutes is a whirlwind, but we'll cover the essentials of data structures and algorithms (dsa) with code examples. we'll focus on concepts and runnable python examples.

*goal:* introduce core dsa concepts, not exhaustive mastery.

*structure:*

1. *what are data structures and algorithms?*
2. *common data structures (with python examples):*
arrays/lists
linked lists
stacks
queues
hash tables/dictionaries
trees (brief mention)
3. *common algorithms (with python examples):*
searching (linear, binary)
sorting (bubble sort, selection sort, quicksort)
4. *time complexity (big o notation):* overview
5. *tips for learning and practice*

*1. what are data structures and algorithms?*

*data structure:* a way of organizing and storing data in a computer so that it can be used efficiently. think of it as the container and organization system for your data.
*algorithm:* a step-by-step procedure or set of rules to solve a specific problem. think of it as the recipe to process your data.

dsa are fundamental to software development. choosing the right ds and algorithm dramatically impacts performance (speed and memory usage) of your code.

*2. common data structures (with python examples)*

*arrays/lists:*

*concept:* a contiguous block of memory storing elements of the same data type. in python, we use lists, which are dynamic arrays (can grow).
*characteristics:* fast access to elements by index (o(1)), slow insertion/deletion in the middle (o(n)).
*python:*



*linked lists:*

*concept:* a sequence of nodes, where each node contains data and a pointer (reference) to the next node.
*characteristics:* fast insertion/deletion (o(1) if you have a reference to the node), slow access to elements by index (o(n)).
*python:* (simplified example - you'd typically use a class for a full implemen ...
