What is Data Structures?
Data structures are organised ways to store and access information. Choosing the right structure can make programs clearer, faster, and more memory-efficient.
Where is Data Structures used?
- Efficient searching and sorting
- Application and database internals
- Compilers, operating systems, and networks
- Technical interview preparation
Prerequisites to learn Data Structures
- Variables, loops, functions, and arrays
- Basic programming in any language
- Comfort tracing small programs
Advantages of Data Structures
- Improves algorithm efficiency
- Provides reusable problem-solving patterns
- Strengthens programming fundamentals
- Essential for advanced computer science
Limitations of Data Structures
- Some structures are conceptually abstract
- Trade-offs depend on workload
- Implementation details vary by language
