data structure
a data structure is a way of collecting and organizing data in such a way
that we can organize this data as a record like way any person
which will have both man name age or address that's it now we can
store a record or information in a file or database as data structure
for example
Ram 21 Delhi
Rohan 18 Lucknow
Basic type of data structures
we have discussed anything that can store data can be could as a data
structure, hence integer, float, boolean, char, etc, all are the data structure
they are known as a primitive data structure
then we also have some complex data structure which is used to store
large and connected data some example of an abstract data structure are
Linked list
Tree
Graph
Stack, queue, etc
all these data structures allow us to perform different operation s on data
we select these data structures based on which type of operation is
required we will look into these data structure in more details in our later
lessons.
