Every journey has a beginning. In this chapter, we will begin our journey by talking about what data structures and algorithms are. I will introduce basic types, and I will show you how easy Big O notation is to understand. If you have ever read a dull, overly complex book on data structures and algorithms (abbreviated to DSA), you will love how quickly this chapter teaches you things!
