It looks like you have a comprehensive Data Structures course spanning various topics and including practical coding exercises. Given the broad range of topics covered, I’ll provide a brief overview for each unit and some tips on the practical experiments.

Unit 1: Arrays and Linked Lists
- Understand the difference between linear (arrays, linked lists) and non-linear (graphs, trees) data structures.
- Remember the time complexities for array operations: O(1) for access and O(n) for insertion or deletion (if not at the end).
- For linked lists, understand the process of traversing, inserting, and deleting nodes; remember that it commonly takes O(n) time for most operations.
- With sorting, focus on understanding how each algorithm works, its time complexity, and when one might be preferred over another.

Experiments Unit 1:
- Make sure you’re comfortable with basic array manipulations: inserting, deleting, and traversing to implement linear search and the sorting algorithms.
- Practice linked list operations by developing functions for insertion, deletion, searching, and displaying elements.

Unit 2: Stacks, Queues, and Graphs
- Know how to implement stacks and queues both with arrays (sequential representation) and linked lists (linked representation).
- Understand the use cases for stacks: expression evaluation, parenthesis matching, and the use of queues for managing sequential processes.
- Graphs require understanding both representation (adjacency matrices/lists) and traversal algorithms (BFS and DFS). Be familiar with these and the concept of minimum spanning trees.

Experiments Unit 2:
- Write programs to sort data using merge sort and insertion sort, recognizing their time complexities.
- Implement a stack and use it for converting infix to postfix expressions.
- Create queue operations both for linear and circular queues.

Unit 3: Trees, Hashing, and File Organization
- Binary trees are a vital topic. Know how to represent them in memory and the different traversal methods (in-order, pre-order, post-order).
- Binary Search Trees (BSTs), AVL Trees, and B/B+ Trees are self-balancing trees, focus on insertion and deletion operations, as they maintain the balance.
- Hashing is a technique used for fast data retrieval. Understand hash functions, collision resolution strategies (like linear probing, quadratic probing, and chaining).
- Be aware of different file organization methods and their implications on retrieval and storage.

Experiments Unit 3:
- Develop a linked list queue and implement operations like enqueue and dequeue.
- Through a binary search tree program, demonstrate the insert, delete, and search operations.
- For graph traversals, write breadth-first search (BFS) and depth-first search (DFS) programs to see these algorithms in action.

General Exam Tips:

- Review basic data structure operations and understand the time complexity (Big O notation) of these operations.
- Practice writing algorithms and understand the logic and optimizations behind them.
- When working on exercises, focus on clean, understandable, and well-documented code.
- Test your programs thoroughly to ensure reliability.
- Make sure to handle edge cases in your code, including empty data structures or trying to delete an element that doesn’t exist.

Title: Binary Search Trees (BSTs)

Introduction:
A Binary Search Tree is a node-based binary tree data structure that has the following properties:
- The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys lesser than the node’s key.
- The right subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys greater than the node’s key.
- The left and right subtree each must also be a binary search tree. There must be no duplicate nodes.

Advantages of BSTs:
- Efficient searching: At each step, the tree is halved, leading to a time complexity of O(log n) for balanced trees.
- Dynamic size: The size of a BST can grow or shrink as needed.
- In-order traversal of BST yields sorted data.
- Efficient insertion and deletion operations as compared to arrays or linked lists.

Disadvantages of BSTs:
- BST can become unbalanced, leading to the worst-case search complexity of O(n).
- Needs extra memory for storing pointers.
- Complexity of operations depends on the height of the binary search tree.

Algorithm for Insertion into BST:
BST_Insert(root, value)
if root is NULL
root ← newNode(value)
else if value < root’s value
root’s left ← BST_Insert(root’s left, value)
else if value > root’s value
root’s right ← BST_Insert(root’s right, value)
return root

Algorithm for Searching in BST:
BST_Search(root, key)
if root is NULL or root’s key is key
return root
if key < root’s key
return BST_Search(root’s left, key)
else
return BST_Search(root’s right, key)

Pseudocode for Deletion from BST:
BST_Delete(root, key)
if root is NULL
return root
if key < root’s key
root’s left ← BST_Delete(root’s left, key)
else if key > root’s key
root’s right ← BST_Delete(root’s right, key)
else
if root’s left is NULL
temp ← root’s right
free(root)
return temp
else if root’s right is NULL
temp ← root’s left
free(root)
return temp
temp ← minValueNode(root’s right)
root’s key ← temp’s key
root’s right ← BST_Delete(root’s right, temp’s key)
return root

CPP Code example (Insertion):

struct Node {
    int value;
    Node left, right;
    Node(int val) : value(val), left(nullptr), right(nullptr) {}
};

Node insertBST(Node root, int value) {
    if (root == nullptr)
        return new Node(value);
    if (value < root->value)
        root->left = insertBST(root->left, value);
    else if (value > root->value)
        root->right = insertBST(root->right, value);
    return root;
}


Figure:
Unfortunately, I am unable to provide a visual figure in this text-based setting, but you could draw a balanced and an unbalanced binary search tree as an example.

Remember to draw a balanced BST where you see nodes have roughly the same number of nodes in each subtree and an unbalanced one where one subtree may have significantly more nodes than the other.

Make sure to familiarize yourself with the implementation details and to be comfortable with explaining them. Always write a code solution and algorithm explanation based on your understanding, as different instructors may cover different nuances or expect a certain style.
1) Explain the operations of singly linked lists
Title: Operations of Singly Linked Lists

Introduction to Singly Linked Lists:
A singly linked list is a collection of nodes, where each node contains data and a reference to the next node in the sequence. This structure allows for efficient insertion and deletion of elements from anywhere in the list. A singly linked list provides a sequence, similar to an array, but with dynamic memory allocation and flexible size adjustments.

Fundamental Operations:

1. Traversal:
- Purpose: Access each element of the linked list.
- Method: Begin at the head node and move sequentially by following the next references until the end of the list (null pointer) is reached.
- Time Complexity: O(n), where n is the number of nodes in the list.

2. Insertion:
- Purpose: Add a new node to the linked list.
- Methods:
a. Insertion at the head (or beginning).
b. Insertion after a given node.
c. Insertion at the end.
- Time Complexity: O(1) for inserting at the head, O(n) for inserting after a given node or at the end (since it may require traversal).

3. Deletion:
- Purpose: Remove a node from the linked list.
- Methods:
a. Deletion by key (deleting the first occurrence of a given value).
b. Deletion by position.
c. Deletion of the head node.
d. Deletion of the last node.
- Time Complexity: O(1) for deletion of the head, and O(n) for other cases (due to potential traversal).

4. Search:
- Purpose: Locate an element in the linked list.
- Method: Traverse the list and check data in each node for a match.
- Time Complexity: O(n), as it may require traversing the entire list in the worst case.

5. Updating:
- Purpose: Modify the data in existing nodes.
- Method: Similar to traversal, once node is located, an update to its data can be performed.
- Time Complexity: O(n), due to the need for traversal to find the node.

Advantages of Singly Linked Lists:
- Dynamic Size: No need to specify the size ahead of time.
- Efficient Insertions/Deletions: Particularly at the beginning of the list or in-between, without the need to shift elements as in an array.

Disadvantages of Singly Linked Lists:
- Linear Access: No direct access to elements by index, requiring traversal from the beginning for each operation.
- Extra Memory: Requires additional memory for storing the next reference in each node.
- No Backward Traversal: Since nodes only hold reference to the next node, you cannot traverse the list in reverse order without additional data structures or algorithms.

Pseudocode for Insertion at Head:
LinkedList_InsertAtHead(head, value):
newNode ← create node with value
newNode.next ← head
head ← newNode

Pseudocode for Deletion by Key:
LinkedList_DeleteByKey(head, key):
temp ← head, prev ← NULL
if temp is not NULL and temp.value = key:
head ← temp.next
free(temp)
return
while temp is not NULL and temp.value ≠ key:
prev ← temp
temp ← temp.next
if temp is NULL: return
prev.next ← temp.next
free(temp)

Pseudocode for Traversal:
LinkedList_Traversal(head):
current ← head
while current is not NULL:
print current.value
current ← current.next
