What is Data Structures?
We are living in an Information Age now what does that mean it simply means that everything around you it’s all about informing the IT industry
which you are working with its IT which is information technology right so what they need is information but we have to store that data somewhere right and that’s important to avoid data how can you store that data because after that after processing that data you will get information right but how do you store that data no data can be of different type right it can be a normal data it can be a complex data so it’s all about how to store it.
The General definition of data structures is, A data structure is a data organization, and storage format that enables efficient access and modification.
There are different variations in data structures like,
(1) Linear data structures like Arrays,Linked Lists
(2) Advanced data structures like Segment Trees,Suffix Array and Trees etc
(3) Trees, Heaps, Graphs, Hashing are also some of the data structures which are more primarily used.
Why are Data Structures important?
we can simply fetch data and put it somewhere right take a file put your data there no it’s not that simple it’s not just about storing data it’s also about how can you fetch
that data in efficient way how can you process that data in efficient way so with that data you will do lots of thing so you have to build a solution in such a way or if you have to store your data in such a way that
it will be easier for you to fetch it to process it and to you know again shut it somewhere and that’s why we have this concept of data structures
so before learning a language if you understand what the data structures it will be easier for you to understand how that language works right in fact if you have learned any programming language before maybe C or Python or Java in that we use certain things for us arrays we use least so to understand those concepts data.
so it is very important so data structure is all about how can you structure your data so that you can store it and use it efficiently again there are certain algorithms. Read More
