11 Data Structures Every Developer Must Know [Quick Guide] 👇

Data structures are the backbone of efficient programming. Here's a simple guide to help you
understand them:

• 𝗔𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘆:
- Like a row of boxes holding similar items
- You can grab any item quickly if you know its position
- Great for storing a fixed number of elements

• 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘂𝗲:
- Works like a line at a store
- New items join at the back, items leave from the front
- Useful for managing tasks in order

• 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗲:
- Branches out from a main "root" into smaller parts
- Helps organize info in a family tree-like structure
- Good for representing hierarchies

• 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘅:
- A grid of numbers or data
- Organized in rows and columns
- Handy for tables or image processing

• 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵:
- Shows how different things connect
- Uses dots (nodes) and lines (edges) to map relationships
- Perfect for social networks or maps

• 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁:
- A chain of items, each pointing to the next
- Easy to add or remove items anywhere in the list
- Flexible for changing data

• 𝗠𝗮𝘅 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗽:
- A tree where the biggest value is always on top
- Keeps things partially sorted
- Efficient for finding the largest item quickly

• 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸:
- Last in, first out - like a stack of plates
- Used in undo functions or for tracking program execution
- Helps manage temporary data in a structured way

• 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗲:
- A tree made for storing words or strings
- Shares common prefixes to save space
- Fast for spell-checking or autocomplete

• 𝗛𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗠𝗮𝗽:
- Stores data using unique keys for quick retrieval
- Like a super-fast dictionary lookup
- Used in caches or for storing user data in apps

• 𝗛𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗦𝗲𝘁:
- Keeps a collection of unique items
- Checks if something is in the set very quickly
- Useful for removing duplicates or tracking membership

Data structures help organize and store data in a way that makes it easy to access and modify.
Understanding these structures can make your coding more efficient and effective.
