I would like to share with you that the data structure can be logically divided into several categories. I hope you will gain something after reading this article. Let's discuss it together.

In the data structure, the data structure can be logically divided into linear structure and nonlinear structure. Logical structure, that is, the logical relationship between data elements, describes data from the logical relationship and has nothing to do with the storage of data. Therefore, according to the relationship between data elements, logical structure is divided into two categories: linear structure and nonlinear structure.

Data structure is the way that computers store and organize data. A data structure is a collection of data elements that have one or more specific relationships with each other. In general, carefully selected data structures can lead to higher operational or storage efficiency. Data structures are often related to efficient retrieval algorithms and indexing techniques.

The logical structure of data refers to the data structure that reflects the logical relationship between data elements, which refers to the relationship between data elements before and after, independent of their storage location in the computer.

There are many kinds of data structures. generally speaking, data are simply classified according to their logical structure, including linear structure and nonlinear structure.

Linear structure

To put it simply, the linear structure means that each node in the table has a linear relationship. If described in terms of the language of the data structure, the linear structure should include the following:

1. the linear structure is a non-empty set.

2. The linear structure has one and only one start node and one terminal node.

3. Linear structure all nodes have at most one direct antecedent node and one direct successor node.

Linear table is a typical linear structure, and stacks, queues and strings all belong to linear structure.

Nonlinear structure

To put it simply, the nonlinear structure means that there are multiple corresponding relationships between the nodes in the table. If described in terms of the language of the data structure, the nonlinear structure should include the following points:

1. The nonlinear structure is a non-empty set.

2. A node of a nonlinear structure may have multiple direct predecessor nodes and multiple direct successor nodes.

In practical application, data structures such as array, generalized table, tree structure and graph structure all belong to nonlinear structure.
