A data structure is a way to organize the collection of related data elements in such a manner that it should be accessed, modified and place it back after the operation efficiently and in relatively small amount of time.
Data structures is the basis for abstract data types (ADT). Abstract Data Type is logical form of the data type and data structure implements the physical form of the data type.
There are many different type of data structures defined to manage different type of data efficiently. Not all data structure is suitable for all kind of data, selecting which structure suits the requirement depends on many factors like amount of data, how they are arranged, accessibility, time, some are highly specialized to specific tasks and many more.
For example, searching a data in sorted elements less time (log n), while unsorted may take (n = number of elements).
