Data Structures in Computer Programming

1. What is Data Structures?

The data structure, organizing the data in memory. It is a way to store and organize data so that it can be used efficiently.

Data structures come under the fundamentals of Computer Science and Software Engineering.

Data structures are used in almost every programming language. Maintenance of data is an essential task for every Software System.

Ex: Array

An array is the simplest and most widely used data structure. Other data structures like stacks and queues are derived from arrays.

2. Common Data Structures in Software Systems

Arrays
Linked Lists
Stacks
Queues
Hash Tables
Trees
Heaps
Graphs

3. Major Operations that can be performed on the data structures:

Searching: We can search for any element in a data structure.

Sorting: We can sort the elements of a data structure either in an ascending or descending order.

Insertion: We can also insert the new element in a data structure.

Updation: We can also update the element, i.e., we can replace the element with another element.

Deletion: We can also perform the delete operation to remove the element from the data structure.
