What is Data Structure?

A data structure is a storage that is used to store and organize data. It is a


way of arranging data on a computer so that it can be accessed and updated
efficiently.
A data structure is not only used for organizing the data. It is also used for
processing, retrieving, and storing data.

In programming, an algorithm is a finite sequence of well-defined instructions or steps used to


solve a problem or perform a specific task.

Examples of algorithms in programming:


 Sorting:
Algorithms are used to arrange items in a list in a specific order.
 Searching:
Algorithms like linear search and binary search are used to find specific
elements within a dataset.
 Mathematical operations:
Algorithms are used to perform calculations, such as addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division.
 Data processing:
Algorithms are used to analyze, transform, and manipulate data.
 Machine learning:
Algorithms like linear regression, decision trees, and neural networks are used
to train models that can make predictions or decisions.
