Core Java For DSA

The document outlines essential Core Java topics necessary for learning Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA), including basic syntax, object-oriented programming, arrays, strings, and the collections framework. It emphasizes the importance of recursion and exception handling while noting optional topics like file I/O. Additionally, it specifies that GUI, database, and Java EE-related topics are not required for DSA.

Core Java Topics for Learning DSA (Data Structures & Algorithms)

Core Java Topics to Learn DSA

1. Basic Java Syntax & Concepts

- Data Types & Variables

- Operators

- Control Flow (if-else, switch-case)

- Loops (for, while, do-while)

2. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

- Class and Objects

- Constructors

- Inheritance

- Polymorphism (Overloading & Overriding)

- Encapsulation

- Abstraction

- Access Modifiers

3. Java Arrays

- 1D and 2D Arrays

- Array Operations: Insert, Delete, Search, Sort

- Time & Space Complexity of Array operations

4. Strings in Java

- String class vs StringBuilder vs StringBuffer

- String operations: concatenation, substring, reverse, compare

- Immutable property of Strings

5. Collections Framework (Very Important for DSA)

- List - ArrayList, LinkedList

- Set - HashSet, LinkedHashSet, TreeSet


- Map - HashMap, TreeMap, LinkedHashMap

- Stack, Queue, PriorityQueue, Deque

6. Wrapper Classes & Autoboxing/Unboxing

- Use in Collections and Generics

7. Generics

- Why Generics matter in collections

- Syntax and use-cases

8. Exception Handling

- Try-catch-finally

- Custom Exceptions (optional but good to know)

9. Recursion

- Core logic for many algorithms (e.g. DFS, backtracking)

- Base case & recursive case

- Stack memory visualization

10. File I/O (Optional for DSA, good for practice)

- Read/Write from file

- BufferedReader, FileReader, Scanner

Not Required for DSA:

- GUI (Swing, JavaFX)

- JDBC / Database

- Java EE, Servlets, JSP

- Spring/Spring Boot
