What is Data Structure ?

A data structure is a storage that is used to


store and organize data. It is a way of
arranging data on a computer so that it can
be accessed and updated efficiently.

Arrays

A fundamental data structure consisting of a


collection of elements stored in contiguous
memory locations. Elements are accessed
using an index, allowing for efficient random
access but limited flexibility in size.

Linked Lists

A linked list is a linear data structure in


which elements are not stored at contiguous
memory locations. The elements in a linked
list are linked using pointers as shown in the
below image:

Types of linked lists:

• Singly-linked list • Doubly linked list


• Circular linked list • Doubly circular linked list

Stack
Stack is a linear data structure that follows a
particular order in which the operations are
performed. The order is LIFO(Last in first
out). Entering (Push) and retrieving (Pop)
data is possible from only one end.

Queue
Queue is a linear data structure that follows a
particular order in which the operations are
performed. The order is First In First
Out(FIFO) i.e. the data item stored first will be
accessed first. In this, entering and retrieving
data is not done from only one end.

Tree
A tree is a non-linear and hierarchical data
structure where the elements are arranged in
a tree-like structure. In a tree, the topmost
node is called the root node. Each node
contains some data, and data can be of any
type. It consists of a central node, structural
nodes, and sub-nodes which are connected
via edges.

Graph
A graph is a non-linear data structure that
consists of vertices (or nodes) and edges. It
consists of a finite set of vertices and set of
edges that connect a pair of nodes. The graph
is used to solve the most challenging and
complex programming problems. It has
different terminologies which are Path,
Degree, Adjacent vertices, Connected
components, etc.

Conclusion
While these are the commonly utilized
data structures, there are other types
like policy-based data structures in
Computer Science. Regardless of the
choice, each structure has its benefits
and drawbacks.

Selecting the appropriate one is crucial
to avoid costly mistakes. Understanding
the situation's requirements helps in
making the best-suited data structure
decision.
