About this course
Welcome to Module 1 of our comprehensive Data Structures course at Matic Academy! In this foundational module, we delve into the fundamental concepts and principles that underpin effective data structuring in computer science.
Data structures serve as the backbone of algorithm design and efficient problem-solving in software development. In this module, we embark on an exploration of various data structures, focusing on their theoretical understanding and practical applications.
By the end of Module 1, students will have a solid grasp of foundational data structure concepts and techniques, empowering them to tackle more advanced topics in subsequent modules. Whether you're a beginner seeking to build a strong programming foundation or a seasoned developer aiming to enhance your algorithmic skills, this module is your gateway to mastering data structures.

The purpose of the lesson is to update the basic knowledge of Python and to form an understanding of exception handling as a tool to notify the user about incorrect program operation.
Students repeat the basic algorithmic constructs and put them into practice. Then they study the exception handling statements and use them in solving storyline problems.
The lesson begins with an introduction to the storyline. Alyona and Kostya welcome developers who have returned from vacation to work.
Lesson goal: to form the students' understanding of a list as an ordered data structure used to store objects of different types.
Throughout the lesson, the students will review everything about lists: creating a list, numbering items, adding, inserting, and removing items, sorting items, and counting occurrences of items in a list.
The Five out of Five private school really liked the knowledge testing system we programmed. The school's management has sent new terms of reference for the creation of a data archive for students and teachers. To program the archive, the developers will need to review ordered data structures — lists.
Lesson goal: to form the students' understanding of a dictionary as a data structure that stores key-value pairs.
Throughout the lesson, the students will review the data structure they already know about (lists), learn about a new one (dictionaries), and compare and evaluate how convenient it is to use them in solving problems.
The director of the Straight A's school praised the work of the ProTeam specialists. The school library is now interested in new programs. We received a request for the development of a set of programs to optimize the storage of data on available literature. The existing catalog of books and card index of readers do not meet modern requirements and need to be digitized.
This lesson goal is to learn and put into practice ways to use nested data structures.
In this lesson, students will learn both the limitations of nesting and the most effective ways of using nested data structures. Along with it, students repeat data types and functions.
At the beginning of the working day, Alyona announces that today the ProTeam will host a programming hackathon. The goal of the hackathon is to create the ProTeam employee data storage system. Alyona and Kostya believe that developers have enough experience to implement this task, but it can be enriched by training on programming nested data structures.
