Primitive data structure- Primitive data structures are the fundamental data structures.
- It can be operated directly on the data and machine instructions.
- It is also know as basic data structure.
- Primitive data structures are defined by the programming languages, or we can say that it is built-in.
- Some of the Primitive data types are integer, real, character, floating point number, and pointer.
- Basically, ‘data-type’ , ‘data structure’ are often used interchangeably.
Non-primitive data structures
- Non-primitive data structures are the data structures that are created using the primitive data structures.
- It is little bit complicated as it is derived from primitive data structures.
- Some of Non-primitive data structures are linked lists, stacks, trees, and graphs.
- Also we can say that is a grouping of same or different data items.
