10 Data Structures
10.1 Introduction
The different methods of organising data are known as data structures.
10.1.1 Elementary Data Structures
These are built into programmming languages and cannot be broken down into
other data strctures.
Example
Integer - QuickBASIC
Character - Pascal
10.1.2 Composite Data Structures
These are made up of a number of elementary data structures.
Example
User Defined (TYPE - END TYPE) - QuickBASIC
Strings
Arrays
Static data structures always occupy a fixed number of bits in the computers
memory. The number of bits in a dynamic data structure can change.
