What is Data Structure?

The name of the data structure implies that it organises data in memory. There are several methods for arranging data in memory, as we have already seen with one of the data structures, array in C. An array is a collection of memory components that store data consecutively, that is, one after the other. In other words, an array stores the components in a continuous fashion. This data arrangement is accomplished through the use of an array of data structures. There are many methods for organising data in memory. Let's look at the many forms of data structures.

Types of Data Structure - 

There are two types of data structures:

• Primitive data structure
• Non-primitive data structure

Primitive Data structure

The primitive data structures are primitive data types. The int, char, float, double, and pointer are the primitive data structures that can hold a single value.

Non-Primitive Data structure

The non-primitive data structure is divided into two types:

• Linear data structure
• Non-linear data structure
