Data Definition defines a particular data with the following characteris
•Atomic − Definition should define a single concept.
•Traceable − Definition should be able to be mapped to some data e
•Accurate − Definition should be unambiguous.
•Clear and Concise − Definition should be understandable.
Data Object
Data Object represents an object having a data.
Data Type
Data type is a way to classify various types of data such as integer, st
etc. which determines the values that can be used with the correspon
type of data, the type of operations that can be performed on the
corresponding type of data. There are two data types −
•Built-in Data Type
•Derived Data Type Created By Fanindra Sonar
,Built-in Data Type
Those data types for which a language has built-in support are k
Built-in Data types. For example, most of the languages provide the f
built-in data types.
•Integers
•Boolean (true, false)
•Floating (Decimal numbers)
•Character and Strings
Derived Data Type
Those data types which are implementation independent as the
implemented in one or the other way are known as derived data type
data types are normally built by the combination of primary or buil
types and associated operations on them. For example −
•List
•Array
•Stack
•Queue

,Basic Operations
The data in the data structures are processed by
operations. The particular data structure chosen largely d
on the frequency of the operation that needs to be perfor
the data structure.
•Traversing
•Searching
•Insertion
•Deletion
•Sorting
•Merging

, Data structures are introduced in order to store, organize and manipul
programming languages. They are designed in a way that makes accessing and pro
the data a little easier and simpler. These data structures are not confined to one
programming language; they are just pieces of code that structure data in the mem
Data types are often confused as a type of data structures, but it is no
correct even though they are referred to as Abstract Data Types. Data types repr
nature of the data while data structures are just a collection of similar or
data types in one.
There are usually just two types of data structures −
