The data structure is a collection of data elements organized in a specified manner in computer’s memory & there exists an efficient method to store & retrieve individual element.
Classification of Data Structure(Types)
Primitive Data Types: A primitive data type is pre-defined bythe programming language.
Non-Primitive Data Types: These types of data structure which are derived from the primitive data structure.
Abstract Data Type
- The abstract data type is special kind of data type, whose behavior is defined by a set of values and set of operations.
- The keyword “Abstract” is used as we can use these data types, we can perform different operations.
- But how those operations are working that is totally hidden from the user.
- The ADT is made of with primitive datatypes, but operation logics are hidden.
