Data structures pdf notes

Basic types of data structure
A data structure is a particular way of organizing real-life data in a computer so that it can be used effectively.
To understand data structures, we must first understand data.
In every programming language, we have some data types..
Basic types of data structure
A file structure is the way files are organized on a computer.
It's important because it helps you find the files you need.
Adopting a file structure makes getting to the files you need as easy as possible.

Basic types of data structure
Data structures are generally based on the ability of a computer to fetch and store data at any place in its memory, specified by a pointer—a bit string, representing a memory address, that can be itself stored in memory and manipulated by the program..
What is data structure in C language?
Data Structures in C is a way of storing and organizing data in the computer memory so that it can be processed efficiently.
Using the data structures in C, we can make our program to be able to utilize the memory efficiently as well as improve it's performance..
