  2. Data structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure

    A data structure known as a hash table.. In computer science, a data structure is a data organization and storage format that is usually chosen for efficient access to data. [1] [2] [3] More precisely, a data structure is a collection of data values, the relationships among them, and the functions or operations that can be applied to the data, [4] i.e., it is an algebraic structure about data.

  3. List of data structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_data_structures

    This is a list of well-known data structures. For a wider list of terms, see list of terms relating to algorithms and data structures. For a comparison of running times for a subset of this list see comparison of data structures.

  4. Record (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_(computer_science)

    In computer science, a record (also called a structure, struct, or compound data type) is a composite data structure – a collection of fields, possibly of different data types, typically fixed in number and sequence.

  5. k-d tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-d_tree

    In computer science, a k-d tree (short for k-dimensional tree) is a space-partitioning data structure for organizing points in a k-dimensional space. K-dimensional is that which concerns exactly k orthogonal axes or a space of any number of dimensions. [1] k-d trees are a useful data structure for several applications, such as:

  6. Comparison of data structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_data_structures

    For a more comprehensive listing of data structures, see List of data structures. The comparisons in this article are organized by abstract data type . As a single concrete data structure may be used to implement many abstract data types, some data structures may appear in multiple comparisons (for example, a hash map can be used to implement ...

  7. Bit array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_array

    A bit array (also known as bitmask, [1] bit map, bit set, bit string, or bit vector) is an array data structure that compactly stores bits. It can be used to implement a simple set data structure. A bit array is effective at exploiting bit-level parallelism in hardware to perform operations quickly.

  8. Rope (data structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_(data_structure)

    In computer programming, a rope, or cord, is a data structure composed of smaller strings that is used to efficiently store and manipulate longer strings or entire texts. For example, a text editing program may use a rope to represent the text being edited, so that operations such as insertion, deletion, and random access can be done efficiently.

  9. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    In computing, a hash table is a data structure that implements an associative array, also called a dictionary or simply map; an associative array is an abstract data type that maps keys to values. [2] A hash table uses a hash function to compute an index, also called a hash code, into an array of buckets or slots, from which the desired value ...
