Study Notes

Data Structures in Computer Science

A data structure is an organized way to store and manage data in a computer so that it can be efficiently accessed, modified, and manipulated.

Basis of Data Structures

Data structures serve as the basis for abstract data types (ADTs), which are high-level models of data types.

Relational Databases

Relational databases commonly use tables with indices for data retrieval.

Software Design

Some formal design methods and programming languages emphasize data structures as the key organizing factor in software design.

Data Management

Efficient data structures provide a means to manage large amounts of data.

Object-Oriented Programming

In Object-Oriented programming, a class relates to data structures as a blueprint for creating objects that contain data and functions to manipulate that data.

Data Organization

Organizing data as a record in data structures serves the purpose of storing and retrieving data efficiently.

Data Manipulation

Data structures are programmed to store, retrieve, and manipulate data efficiently.
Efficient data structures enable manipulation of data by providing a systematic way of storing and retrieving data.
