Skip to content- Data structure is a representation of the logical relationship existing between individual elements of data.
- Data Structure is a way of organizing all data items that considers not only the elements stored but also their relationship to each other.
- We can also define data structure as a mathematical or logical model of a particular organization of data items.
- The representation of particular data structure in the main memory of a computer is called as storage structure.
- The storage structure representation in auxiliary memory is called as file structure.
- It is defined as the way of storing and manipulating data in organized form so that it can be used efficiently.
- Data Structure mainly specifies the following four things
- Organization of Data
- Accessing methods
- Degree of associativity
- Processing alternatives for information
- Algorithm + Data Structure = Program
- Data structure study covers the following point.
- Amount of memory require to store.
- Amount of time require to process.
- Representation of data in memory.
- Operations performed on that data.
