Data structures are used to represent data in a meaningful way. They provide a way to store and organize data in memory. This section covers the different types of data structures and their applications.

A linked list is a linear data structure in which elements are not stored in contiguous memory locations. Instead, each element, called a node, contains a data part and a reference (or link) to the next node in the sequence. Linked lists are used in various applications such as dynamic memory allocation, implementation of data structures like stacks and queues, and more.
