Introduction to Data Structures in C++

In summary, C++ has two types of data structures - simple and compound. Simple data structures include arrays and structures, while compound data structures include stack, queue, linked list, and tree. In the Indian CBSE board, linked list is not included in the data structure syllabus and has been removed. However, it is important to understand linked lists in order to comprehend stack and queue implementation in C++. This can be done using an array of pointers to structures and objects, or simple data types, along with some module math. Examples of implementing stacks and queues without linked lists can be found online.

In C++ we have 2 types of data structures :-
1)simple data structure
so array and structure come in simple data structure group
2)compound data structure
so stack,queue,link list,tree come in compound data structure group.

In Indian board CBSE data structure linked list is not included it is out of syllabus so it has been deleted.
so when we study stack,queue in c++
we should know linked list in c++.
or
without linked list we will not be able to understand stack,queue

What is data structure?

Data structure refers to the way data is organized, stored, and accessed in a computer program. It is an essential concept in computer science and plays a crucial role in the efficiency and performance of algorithms.

Why is learning data structures important?

Learning data structures is important because it allows programmers to understand and manipulate data more effectively. It also helps in designing efficient algorithms and improves the overall performance of a program.

What is the difference between an array and a linked list?

An array is a linear data structure that stores data in contiguous memory locations, whereas a linked list is a non-linear data structure that stores data in a series of nodes connected by pointers. Arrays have fixed size, while linked lists can grow dynamically.

What are the basic operations on a data structure?

The basic operations on a data structure include inserting, accessing, searching, deleting, and sorting data. These operations can be performed differently depending on the type of data structure.

What are some common data structures used in C++?

Some common data structures used in C++ include arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs. C++ also provides built-in container classes like vectors, lists, and maps that can be used as data structures.
