Data Structure and its types

What is a data structure? 

Data structures are used to store data in a computer in an organized fashion. Different types of data structures are:-

Stack- Works in first in last out order. The element inserted first in stack is removed last.

Queue- First in First out order. The element inserted first is removed first.

Linked list- Stored data in a linear fashion.

Trees- Stores data in a non linear fashion with one root node and sub nodes.

What are the types of data structures?

The scheme of organizing related information is known as ‘data structure’. The types of data structure are:

Lists: A group of similar items with connectivity to the previous or/and next data items.

Arrays: A set of homogeneous values

Records: A set of fields, where each field consists of data belongs to one data type.

Trees: A data structure where the data is organized in a hierarchical structure. This type of data structure follows the sorted order of insertion, deletion and modification of data items.

Tables: Data is persisted in the form of rows and columns. These are similar to records, where the result or manipulation of data is reflected for the whole table.
