Data Structure and Types

You have a heap of candies and, of course, want to store them in some way.

You can put them in the box.

In computer programming, this box is called the Data Structure. So, the data structure is a storage that is used to store and organize data.

During the course, we will get acquainted with all data structures. Let’s learn what data structures exist.

Data structures:

• Linear: array, stack, queue, linked list;
• Non-linear: graph, trees;
• Hash table.

You need to know how to choose the best data structure for your project as it helps you to write memory and time-efficient code.

Why do we need to learn ADS (Algorithm and Data Structures)?

• Data Structures are used to hold data, and Algorithms are used to solve problems using that data;
• ADS gives the solutions to problems in detail and gives you an insight into how efficient it is to use each one of them;
• Also, you learn the science of evaluating the efficiency of any algorithm.
