Introduction to Data Structures

Welcome to the Introduction to Data Structures lesson!

In this lesson, we will provide you with a brief overview of data structures on a theoretical level.

Data structures are essential components in software development as they allow us to efficiently store, organize, and manipulate data.

A data structure is like a container that holds data elements and provides operations to access, insert, modify, and delete those elements. Just like we have different types of containers to store different things, data structures come in various forms, each designed for different purposes.

Understanding different data structures and their characteristics will help you become a more efficient programmer and enable you to choose the right data structure for a given task.

Let's start by exploring one of the most fundamental data structures: Arrays.

1// Example Java code
2class Main {
3    public static void main(String[] args) {
4        System.out.println("Hello World!");
5    }
6}

xxxxxxxxxx

class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.out.println("Hello World!");

    }

}
