Data Structures

When we talk about data structures, we must consider not only the way data is organised in central memory (RAM) or on the hard disk (Hard Disk), but also their impact on how the algorithm is conceived.

A well-thought-out data structure creates opportunities for building the most efficient algorithms. It can be said that data structuring and the algorithm used to build a program noticeably affect each other. A certain data structure, to a degree, also determines an algorithm, and vice versa: an algorithm necessarily implies the data structure it processes.
