Description of Data Structure A data structure is a way of organizing and storing data in a computer program so that it can be accessed and used efficiently. It defines the way data is stored and manipulated within a program, and can have a significant impact on the performance of the program. There are many different types of data structures, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Some common data structures include: ·     Arrays: A collection of elements of the same data type, stored in contiguous memory locations ·    Linked lists : A collection of nodes, each containing a data element and a reference to the next node in the list ·    Stacks : A last-in, first-out (LIFO) data structure, where elements are added and removed from the same end of the structure ·    Queues: A first-in, first-out (FIFO) data structure, where elements are added to the back and removed from the front of the structure ·    Trees : A hi...

  Selection Sort Selection sort is a simple sorting algorithm that works by repeatedly finding the minimum element from an unsorted part of the array and placing it at the beginning of the array. This process is repeated until the entire array is sorted. Advantages of Selection Sort: Simple to implement In-place sorting algorithm, i.e., it doesn't require any extra memory      space Good for small arrays or arrays with a small number of elements   //Algorithm for Selection Sort: Step 1. Start Step 2. The first element of the array. Step 3. Find the smallest element in the remaining unsorted part of the                          array. Step 4. Swap the smallest element with the first element. Step 5. Move to the next unsorted element and repeat steps 2 and 3 until the                entire array is sorted. Step 6. End ...
