4. What is a Computer Program?
To exactly know, what is data structure? We must know:
What is a computer program?
Some mysterious
processing
Output
Input

5. Definition
An organization of information, usually in memory, for better algorithm efficiency
such as queue, stack, linked list, heap, dictionary, and tree,

6. 3 steps in the study of data structures
Logical or mathematical description of the structure
Implementation of the structure on the computer
Quantitative analysis of the structure, which includes determining the amount of memory needed to store the structure and the time required to process the structure

7. Data may be organized in many ways
E.g., arrays, linked lists, trees etc.
The choice of particular data model depends on two consideration:
It must be rich enough in structure to mirror the actual relationships of data in the real world
The structure should be simple enough that one can effectively process the data when necessary

8. Example Data structure for storing data of students:- Issues Arrays
Linked Lists
Issues
Space needed
Operations efficiency (Time required to complete operations)
Retrieval
Insertion
Deletion

9. What data structure to use?
Data structures let the input and output be represented in a way that can be handled efficiently and effectively.
array
Linked list
queue
tree
stack
