Document Summary
Computer is an electronic machine which is used for data processing and manipulation. When programmer such type of data for processing he would require storing all of them in computer main memory. In order to make computer work we need to know: (1) representation of data in computer (2) accessing of data. (3) how to solve problem step by step. Data structure is a way of defining, storing and creativity of data in a structural and systematic way. A data structure may contain different type of data items. Data structure is a way to organized data in such a way that it can be used efficiently. Data structure mainly specifies the following four things. (1) organization of data. (2) accessing methods. (3) degree of associatively. (4) processing alternatives. Data are simply facts or figures-bits of information, but not information it itself. When data are processed, interpreted, organized, structured or presented so as to make.
