The document provides information about data structures, including definitions of key terms, examples of different data structure types, and operations that can be performed on data structures.
It begins by defining a data structure as a collection of elements and operations on those elements. Linear data structures like stacks, queues, and linked lists are described, where elements are arranged sequentially. Non-linear structures like trees and graphs are also mentioned.
Common operations on data structures include creation, insertion, deletion, searching, sorting, and reversing elements. Abstract data types are defined, and several applications of data structures in areas like operating systems, databases, and artificial intelligence are listed. Specific data structure types like linked lists, stacks, and queues are then defined
