Types of data structure.pdf

A data structure is the collection of data elements that effectively organize and store data in a computer so that it can be used effectively. Data structures include arrays, Linked Lists, Stacks, Queues, etc. Data structures are employed extensively in every area of computer science, including operating systems, compiler design, artificial intelligence, graphics, and many others. Many algorithms in computer science rely heavily on data structures because they give programmers the tools they need to handle data effectively. As the primary purpose of the software is to store and retrieve user data quickly, it is essential for improving the performance of software or programs.
