A data structure is a specialized format for organizing, storing, and managing data in a computer's memory so that it can be used efficiently. The choice of an appropriate data structure is crucial for designing efficient algorithms and improving program performance, as different structures are optimized for different tasks A data structure is a way of organizing and storing data in a computer so that it can be accessed and used efficiently. It refers to the logical or mathematical representation of data, as well as the implementation in a computer program. Data structures can be classified into two broad categories: Linear Data Structure: A data structure in which data elements are arranged sequentially or linearly, where each element is attached to its previous and next adjacent elements, is called a linear data structure. Examples are array, stack, queue, etc. Non-linear Data Structure: Data structures where data elements are not placed sequentially or linearly are called non-linear data structures. Examples are trees and graphs.
