Imagine Krish is organizing his collection of books. He needs to decide how to arrange them on his shelves for easy access. What is the term used to describe the way data is stored?

• Function

• Variable

• Algorithm

• Data Structure

Aarav is organizing his collection of books. He wants to categorize them based on their types. Which of the following is a basic way to store his books?

• Linked List

• Queue

• Array

• Stack

Tisha is organizing a library and needs to decide how to store the books. She knows that the way she chooses to store the books will impact how she can find and retrieve them later. What is the relationship between data structures and algorithms in this context?

• Data structures are only used for storage.

• They are unrelated.

• Choosing a data structure affects the algorithm used.

• Algorithms are always more complex than data structures.

In a library, there are different ways to organize books. Which of the following methods represents a non-linear way of organizing books?

• Queue

• Tree

• Stack

• Array

Imagine Myra is trying to bake a cake. She has a recipe that outlines the steps she needs to follow, such as mixing ingredients, baking at a certain temperature, and decorating the cake. What is the definition of an algorithm in this context?

• A type of data structure.

• A programming language.

• A method for storing data.

• A finite sequence of instructions.

Avani is organizing her bookshelf. She wants to arrange her books in a way that they are easy to find and read. Which of the following describes her method of organizing the books?

• Data items can be accessed randomly.

• Data items are organized in a sequence.

• Data items are stored in a hierarchical manner.

• Data items are stored in a graph.

Alisha is organizing a community library and needs to manage the collection of books. She is considering two options: using a linked list or an array to store the book information. What is the main advantage of using a linked list over an array?

• Linked lists can easily grow in size.

• Linked lists allow for faster access.

• Linked lists are simpler to implement.

• Linked lists use less memory.

• Definiteness

• Output

• Randomness

• Input

Sanya is developing a new software application. She needs to understand how much memory her application will require to run efficiently. What is the space complexity of an algorithm?

• The number of steps in the algorithm.

• The number of data structures used.

• The amount of memory required to execute.

• The amount of time it takes to run.
