Data Structure definition & Classification

Data Structure definition & Classification

1. Is a particular form of oranize data on a computer to that can be utilized of efficent way

2. Primitive data structure

   • Predefined by the programming language
     • Integer
       • Represent whole numbers
     • Real
       • Represent the most exactly aproximation of the real value of one result including the decimals of this
     • Character
       • In this can save a set of characters(numbers, letters or signs)
     • Boolean
       • This is used depending of the case but the value is "true" or "false"

3. Non primitive data structure

   • No defined by the programming language, this is created and defined by the programer
     • Linear data structure
       • Only goes on of element to one element
         • Arrays
           • It enable save data sequentially
         • Linked lists
           • Sequence ordered of elements
         • Stacks
           • Similar as lists but only can insert and delete elements of the end(Last-In First-Out)
         • Queue
           • Similar as a lists but only can insert elements of one side and delete of other side(First-In First-Out)
     • Non linear data structure
       • This can reach more than one element directly
         • Trees
           • Father data with son data that of any way are relationated
         • Graphs
           • Data that is relationated each other
