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 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
- Databases
- File systems
- Networks
