Data Structures
A data structure is simply some way of organizing a value that consists
of multiple parts; or a representation of data and the operations allowed
on that data.
A data structure is a group of data elements grouped together under one
name. These data elements, known as members, can have different types
and different lengths.
Data Types
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
A data type is a classification identifying one of various types of data,
such as real-valued, integer or Boolean, that determines the possible
values for that type; the operations that can be done on values of that type;
the meaning of the data; and the way values of that type can be stored.
Abstract Data Types
An abstract data type (ADT) is a mathematical model for a certain class
of data structures that have similar behavior; or for certain data types of
one or more programming languages that have similar semantics.
An Abstract Data Type (ADT) is: a set of values or a set of operations,
which can be applied uniformly to all these values; Abstract Data Types
(ADTs) or data structures or collections store data and allow various
operations on the data to access and change it.
