AND ITS TYPES
It is a logical way of storing data and it
also define mechanism of retrieve data.
What are Data Structures?



Data may be organized in many different ways.
A Data Structure is an arrangement of data in a
computer’s memory or on a disk.
 The logical or mathematical model of a particular
organization of a data is called Data Structures.
 The choice of a data model depends on two
consideration:
1) It must be rich enough in structure to mirror the actual
relationships of the data in the real world.
2) The structure should be simple enough that one can
effectively process the data when necessary.

The data appearing in data structures are processed by means of
operations. The following are operations are major operations:
a) Traversing: Accessing each record exactly once so that
certain items in the record may be processed.
b) Searching: Finding the location of the record with a
given key value, or finding the locations of all records which satisfy
one or more conditions.
c) Inserting: Adding a new record to the structure.
d) Deleting: Removing a record from the structure.
Following two are special operations:
a) Sorting: Arranging the records in some logical order.
b) Merging: Combining the records in two different sorted
files into a single sorted file.
An algorithm is a well-defined list of steps for solving a particular
problem.
Algorithms manipulate the data present in data structures in various
ways, such as searching for a particular data item and sorting the data.
Flowcharts are pictorial representations of the algorithms.
Properties/ characteristics of the algorithm:
a) Finiteness: Total number of steps used in an algorithm
should be finite.
b) Definiteness: Each step of algorithm must be clear and
unambiguous.

c) Effectiveness: Every step must be basic and essential.
d) Input/output: The algorithm must accept zero or more
input and must produce at least on output.

A Stack is a list of elements in which an
element may be inserted or deleted at one
end which is known as TOP of the stack.
Push: add an element in stack
Pop: remove an element in stack

A queue is a linear list of element in which
insertion can be done at one end which is
known as front and deletion can be done
which is known as rear.
Insertion : add a new element in queue
Deletion: Removing an element in queue

A Linked list is a linear collection of
data elements .It has two part one is

In computer science, a tree is a widely-used data
structure that emulates a hierarchical tree structure
with a set of linked nodes.

Tree Representation
A graph data structure may also associate to each edge some edge
value, such as a symbolic label or a numeric attribute
(cost, capacity, length, etc.).
