What is Data.?
 In computing, data is information that has
been translated into a form that is more
convenient to move or process.
 Relative to today's computers and
transmission media, data is information
converted into binary digital form.
 Distinct pieces of information, usually
formatted in a special way.

Data Objects
 Anything that exists in storage and on
which operations can be performed.
 Examples include files, Programs and
arrays.

Data Types
 The mathematical properties and
internal representation of data and
functions.
 An attribute used for defining data as
numeric or character.

A Data Type is characterized by..
 a set of values
 a data representation, which is
common to all these values, and
 a set of operations, which can be
applied uniformly to all these
values

Abstract Data Types
 An Abstract Data Type (ADT) is:
 a user defined data type
 a set of values
 a set of operations, which can be applied
uniformly to all these values.

ADT = properties + operations
 An ADT describes a set of objects sharing
the same properties and behaviors
 The properties of an ADT are its data
(representing the internal state of each object
 double d; -- bits representing
exponent & mantissa are its data or state
 The behaviors of an ADT are its operations or
functions (operations on each instance)
 sqrt(d) / 2; //operators & functions are
its behaviors

Benefits Of ADT
 encapsulation: less to worry about
 division of labor
 promotes code sharing
 cheaper sub-contracts
 facilitates unit-testing

List Abstract Data Type (ADT)
 The List ADT models a
sequence of positions
storing arbitrary objects
 It establishes a
before/after relation
between positions
 Can be implemented in
various ways:
 array
 singly-linked
 doubly-linked
 Accessor methods:
 first(), last()
 prev(p), next(p)
 Update methods:
 replace(p, e)
 insertBefore(p, e),
insertAfter(p, e),
 insertFirst(e), insertLast(e)
 remove(p)
 convenience methods:
 isEmpty()

Data Structures
 Arrangement of data in computer’s
memory.
 Goal: to organize data
 Criteria: to facilitate efficient
 storage of data
 retrieval of data
 manipulation of data
 Design Issue:
 select and design appropriate data types.

Primitive & Non-Primitive
 Primitive Data Structures
 Data can be structured at the most primitive level, where they
are directly operated upon by machine-level instructions.
 At this level, data may be character or numeric, and numeric
data may consist of integers or real numbers.
 Non-Primitive Data Structures
 Non-primitive data structures can be classified as arrays, lists,
and files.
 An array is an ordered set which contains a fixed number of
objects.
 A list, by contrast, is an ordered set consisting of a variable
number of elements.
 A file is typically a large list that is stored in the external
memory of a computer.

Linear & Non-Linear
 Linear Data Structure
 Linear data structure is linear if element is adjacent to each
other. It has exactly two neighbors elements to which it is
connected as its previous and next member
 Array , Linked List , Stack , Queuenumbers.
 Non- Linear Data Structures
 Non-Linear data structure is that if one element can be
connected to more than two adjacent element then it is
known as non-linear data structure..
 Tree , Graph

Static Data Structures
 a simple data structure, the array is
static data structure.
 They are linear only
 They're essentially fixed-size.
 They often use too much space.

Dynamic Data Structure
 Is one that can grow or shrink as needed to
contain the data you want stored.
 That is, you can allocate new storage when
it's needed and discard that storage when
you're done with it.
 malloc(), calloc() functions in C language.
 Dynamic data structures generally consist
of at least some simple data storage, along
with a linkage to the next element in the
structure.
 These links are often called pointers, or
references.

Persistent & Ephemeral
 Persistent
 One that is continue in existence
 Ephemeral
 lasting or of use for only a short time;
transitory
