Data Structures implemented in C
Its been 23 years since I wrote my first article or rather published a content site. The site, datastructures.itgo.com, was live for many years and had witnessed decent traffic (mostly students and researchers) and engagement till 2011. Unfortunately, in the pursuit of life, I forgot to pay the hosting fee for few years due to which the site is disabled and then tried several times to pay the hosting fee but the hosting company didnt respond. To my irony, i didn’t even have a copy of the content with me.
Now, in past few years, “Content” on internet has become rich and structured and the quality of free content has significantly evolved, thanks to Wikipedia. Its a shift in many years from a World Wide Ocean of redundant copies of same content to moderated, authenticated, original content which are the new forms of knowledge capsules. I realised the need of republishing my content (the original content..i wrote and drew every line of that…no GPTs no plagiarism!) as it indeed helped many students in understanding the concept of “Data Structures” then in early 2000.
I kept googling for my content and came across web.archive.org who have archived my site completely. Don’t know how to thank them. I retrieved the content and here on publishing that entire content in verbatim.
PREFACE (as written in year 2000)
“I will put it this way — I happen to be a B.E in Computer Technology from Nagpur University, India. Well, might be a little shocking, as currently I am teaching Data Structures to Fashion students; you can say it’s a ‘South Indian Curry with Pizza’ but I can still assure you that my efforts will certainly help you to certain extent.
I have been teaching Data structures and their implementations using C for the last 2 years and realised that circulating class notes don’t help too long. Finally, I decided to compile all my class lectures and publish them on the web.
I would not claim that all what I have said in this tutorial is 100% authentic as at times I have given my own solutions which work out fine for 90% of the cases.

I have tried my level best to simplify the concepts and their C implementation so that I could relate the topic to a 10+2 and a MCA student both with no confusions.
I am open to all kind of suggestions and criticisms if you find any, I will certainly make a note of that. Do e-mail me at akashnath@rediffmail.com for clarifications.”

Content for “Sparse Matrix” and “Sorting & Searching” was never created. I left it in between. If viewers find this content relevant and helpful in today’s context, I’ll be urged to finish writing on last two topics.
Cheers!!
