    Study Notes

    Data Structures

    • A data structure is a specialized format for organizing and storing data, allowing efficient access, modification, and use of the data.
    • Two important needs for data structures are managing large amounts of data and ensuring efficient retrieval and modification of the data.
    • The study of data structures deals with the design, implementation, and analysis of data structures that enable efficient storage and retrieval of data.
    • The main purpose of data structures is to provide an efficient way of storing and retrieving data, thereby improving the performance of a program or system.
    • A data structure helps determine how the data will be stored, accessed, modified, and deleted, which in turn affects the performance and efficiency of a program or system.
