This document discusses data structures and algorithms. It defines data structures as a way to organize data in computer memory and algorithms as systematic methods for solving problems. It states that data structures and algorithms work together, with the data structure chosen to allow easy operation by the algorithm. Examples of commonly used data structures like stacks, queues, arrays and linked lists are provided along with their applications. Classification of linear and non-linear as well as homogeneous and non-homogeneous data structures is also covered.
