<ul><li>Data structures are used to organize and store data, and can vary based on the type of data and the desired operations.</li><li>Linear data structures like arrays and linked lists organize elements sequentially.</li><li>Non-linear data structures like trees and graphs allow for relationships between elements at different levels.</li><li>Arrays group similar data elements together in one place but are limited to a single data type.</li><li>Linked lists are beneficial for inserting and deleting elements within the list efficiently.</li><li>Queues are useful for managing elements at the start and end of a list, allowing for easy insertion and removal.</li><li>Stacks simplify removing elements from the list without adding new ones.</li><li>Trees establish hierarchical relationships among data elements, ideal for complex operations and dependencies.</li><li>Heaps, a specialized type of binary tree, are effective for managing varying priorities of data elements.</li><li>Graphs model relationships and dependencies between data elements, offering flexibility in representing connections.</li></ul>
