Study Notes

Data Structures in Computer Science

A data structure is a way to organize and store data in a computer so that it can be efficiently accessed, modified, and manipulated.
Data structures play a crucial role in managing data, as they enable efficient storage, retrieval, and manipulation of data.

Importance of Data Structures

In relational databases, indexed data structures such as B-trees or hash tables are commonly used for efficient data retrieval.
Efficient data structures are key to designing efficient algorithms, as they reduce the computational complexity and improve the performance of the algorithm.

Formal Design Methods and Programming Languages

Some formal design methods and programming languages emphasize the use of data structures to model the problem domain, ensuring that the software design is modular, reusable, and maintainable.
