Almost all software development problem requires a solid understanding of data structure. And learning data structure is essentials than learning syntax.
Data structure:
“Data structure is a particular way of organizing data in a computer. ”
Why it is important:
“Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.”
_― _Linus Torvalds
This is the famous quote from Torvalds, Too bold, but true. A good developer should always know data flow inside the application and how to use the different data structures to maintain this flow more efficiently via correctly choosing format and type.
If you like more structure code and dev-documentation. Check out this website with a more defined code example.

In this series, I will describe the different data structures and their used cased. The next series will contain more depth on each data structure. I used javascript for example, but all data structures can be implemented in all high-level programming languages.
Without more discussion, let’s dive into detail:
Some frequently used data structure:
- Arrays
- Stacks
- Queues
- Linked-List
- Trees
- Hashing
- Graph
