Introduction : Data structure is the way or concept of storing and organizing data inside a computer.
Different applications used different methodology of arranging or storing data using the Data
structures techniques. Some data structures are used for some highly specialized application. Data
structures are the main technique or concept for designing an efficient algorithm. In this section,
there are lots of Data Structure questions and answers which will surely help to build some basic
concepts related to Data Structure.
Types of Data Structures
data structure
Operating System
Compiler Design
Artificial Intelligence
Statistical analysis package
Numerical Analysis
Graphics
Simulation
(b) What are the major data structures used in the following areas : RDBMS, Network
data model & Hierarchical data model. ?
These are the major data structure used:
Straight Merging
Natural Merging
Polyphase Sort
Syntax analysis
(h) Differentiate the Hashing Functions based on the various methods by which the key
value is found.
The list is as follows:
Direct method
Subtraction method
Modulo-Division method
Digit-Extraction method
Mid-Square method
Folding method
Pseudo-random method
(i)Write the types of Collision Resolution Techniques and the methods used in each of the
type?
The types are:
Open addressing
Overflow block
Closed addressing
Linked list
Binary tree
(j)In RDBMS, what is the efficient data structure used in the internal
storage representation?
B+ tree. As in B+ tree, leaf node stores all the data, thats why the Searching is easier. This
corresponds to the records that shall be stored in leaf nodes.
