Data Structures are the fundamental building blocks of most programming languages. They are used to organize and store data efficiently. Let's explore some common data structures.

Common Data Structures

Arrays are a collection of elements of the same type. They provide fast access to any element using its index.
Linked Lists consist of nodes where each node contains a value and a reference to the next node.
Stacks are a Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) data structure. The last element added is the first to be removed.
Queues are a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) data structure. The first element added is the first to be removed.
Trees are a hierarchical data structure consisting of nodes. Each node has a value and a list of child nodes.
Graphs are a collection of nodes (vertices) and edges connecting these nodes.
