 PROGRAMMING IN JAVA
ACTIVITY- LINKEDIN CERTIFICATION COURSE
1. Program outcome
• Understanding of common data structures such as arrays, linked
lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs.
• Knowledge of basic operations that can be performed on these data
structures, such as insert, delete, search, and traverse.
• Proficiency in implementing these data structures in C, including
writing and debugging code.
• Ability to choose appropriate data structures and algorithms for
different problem domains.
• Knowledge of advanced topics in data structures, such as heaps,
hash tables, and dynamic programming.
• Ability to analyze and compare the efficiency of different
algorithms and data structures, and to implement efficient solutions
to real-world problems.
• Effective use of memory: The program should use memory
efficiently and avoid wastage.
• Good performance: The program should have good performance in
terms of time and space complexity
• Easy implementation of complex algorithms: Data structures like
trees, graphs, etc. can be used to implement complex algorithms
like search algorithms, sorting algorithms, etc. with ease.
• Data structures can be implemented in a way that optimizes the use
of memory resources, leading to improved performance and
reduced memory footprint.
Overall, the use of data structures in C programs can help in
solving various real-world problems effectively and efficiently.

4. My personal experience

Through these courses, I have been able to increase my

skills and knowledge in this area. The process of
obtaining data structure certificates through LinkedIn has
had a positive impact on my education. The explanations
provided were clear and easy to understand, and the
ability to review the material as often as needed made the
learning experience even better. I believe that acquiring
these certificates will have a positive impact on my future
and increase the perceived value of my resume. In my
personal experience, Data Structure is not an easy subject
and it takes more than just watching videos to truly
understand it. I am still not perfect in Data Structure, so I
plan to keep revisiting the courses and solving questions
until I have a complete grasp of the subject.
