- 5. Types of Data Structures Types of Data Structures Data structures can be classified into two main categories: primitive and non- primitive. Primitive structures include integers, floats, and characters, while non- primitive structures include arrays, linked lists, trees, and graphs. Each type has its own advantages and use cases.

- 6. An array is a collection of items stored at contiguous memory locations. They allow for quick access to elements using an index. Arrays are widely used in programming for tasks that require fast data retrieval, such as sorting and searching algorithms. An array is a collection of items stored at contiguous memory locations.

- 7. A linked list is a linear data structure where elements are stored in nodes, each pointing to the next. This structure allows for dynamic memory allocation and efficient insertions and deletions. Linked lists are beneficial when the size of the data structure is not known in advance.

- 8. Stacks and Queues Stacks and Queues Stacks and queues are two essential abstract data types. A stack operates on a Last In First Out (LIFO) principle, while a queue follows First In First Out (FIFO). Both structures are used in various applications, including function call management and task scheduling. Stacks and queues are two essential abstract data types.

- 9. A tree is a hierarchical data structure consisting of nodes connected by edges. It is used to represent relationships and hierarchies, such as file systems and organizational structures. Understanding trees is vital for mastering algorithms like binary search and tree traversals. A tree is a hierarchical data structure consisting of nodes connected by edges.
