    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.
