Data Structures and Algorithms Quiz

What is the definition of data structure?

• A representation of the logical relationship between individual elements of data

• A way of organizing all data items without considering their relationships

• A set of instructions to organize data

• A method to execute a specific function

Which of the following is a primitive data structure?

• Integer

• Static

• Tree

• Graph

What is the purpose of an algorithm?

• To solve a particular function through a step-by-step procedure

• To analyze the correctness of data structures

• To define the basic concepts of Big O notations

• To organize data

What is the time complexity of an algorithm?

• The amount of space required by the algorithm

• The process of defining a formula for memory prediction

• The process of determining the total time required for execution

• The process of defining a formula for sorting data

Which of the following is an example of a non-primitive data structure?
