"Data Structures", """ Data structures are ways of organizing and storing data so that it can be

accessed and modified efficiently. They are a key component in designing efficient algorithms
and software. 1. **Arrays**: - A collection of elements identified by index. - Fixed size and
allows quick access. 2. **Linked Lists**: - A sequence of elements, each pointing to the next. -
Examples: Singly Linked List, Doubly Linked List. 3. **Stacks**: - LIFO (Last In, First Out)
structure. - Used in function call management, expression evaluation. 4. **Queues**: - FIFO
(First In, First Out) structure. - Examples: Priority Queue, Circular Queue. 5. **Trees**: -
Hierarchical structures with nodes. - Examples: Binary Tree, AVL Tree, B-Tree. 6. **Graphs**:
- Set of nodes connected by edges. - Used in network routing, social network analysis. 7. **Hash
Tables**: - Key-value pairs for efficient data retrieval. - Used in databases, caching. Choosing
the right data structure is critical for the efficiency and performance of software applications.
Understanding their properties and use cases is essential for any computer scientist. """,
