    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 provide a means for:
      • Efficient data storage and retrieval
      • Efficient data manipulation and modification
      • Efficient data transmission and communication

    Data Retrieval in Relational Databases

    • Relational databases commonly use SQL (Structured Query Language) for data retrieval.

    Key Organizing Factor in Software Design

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

    Applications of Data Structures

    • Data structures can be used to organize the storage and retrieval of information in various areas, including:
      • Computer systems
