DATA STRUCTURES

Data Management

• It includes activities like data collection organisation of data in appropriate structures, accessing the data, etc.

Data Structures

• It is a group of data elements that are put together in one name to define a way of storing and organising data in computer memory so that it can be used efficiently.

Example: - Array, Stack, Queues, Linked Lists, Tree, Graph, Hash Tables.

Primitive and Non Primitive Data Types    

Primitive	Non Primitive
The primitive data types are the basic data types that are directly operated upon by machine level instructions and are available in most of the programming languages. The primitive data types are used to represent single values.	The data types that are derived from primitive data types are known as non-Primitive data types. These data types are used to store group of values.
The primitive data types are: Integer, Float and Double, Character, String, Boolean etc	The non-primitive data types are: Arrays, Structure, Union, Linked list, Stacks, Queue etc

Linear and Non Linear Data Structures

Linear Data Structures	Non Linear Data Structures
In linear data structure the elements are stored in sequential order.	Elements are stored based on the hierarchical relationship among the data.
The linear data structures are: Array, Linked List, Stack, Queue	The following are some of the Non-Linear data structure: Trees, Graphs
