How data structures and algorithms

Data structures are concerned with organizing and storing data, while algorithms focus on solving problems and manipulating data. Data structures provide the foundation for algorithms to operate efficiently by structuring and managing the underlying data.As we said earlier, though Data Structures and Algorithms are different, they are very much interrelated. Now let us have a look at how. A data structure is an entity that contains information used by algorithms. A data structure allows you to store elements in memory and provides functions for manipulating the elements that are stored.Data structure are closely tied to algorithms that manipulate the data. So closely tied those algorithms are considered part of the data structure. For example Lined List data structure tells you how the data is saved and also how the data is read and manipulated.A data structure is a method of organizing data in a virtual system. Think of sequences of numbers, or tables of data: these are both well-defined data structures. An algorithm is a sequence of steps executed by a computer that takes an input and transforms it into a target output.
