Key Terms

Array
A collection of elements identified by index or key.

Example: int numbers[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

Linked List
A data structure consisting of nodes that together represent a sequence.

Example: A linked list can be used to implement a dynamic array.

Node
An individual element of a linked list containing data and a pointer to the next node.

Example: struct Node { int data; struct Node* next; };

Stack
A collection of elements that follows the Last In First Out (LIFO) principle.

Example: A stack can be used to reverse a string.

Queue
A collection of elements that follows the First In First Out (FIFO) principle.

Example: A queue can be used in scheduling tasks.

Dynamic Memory Allocation
The process of allocating memory at runtime using functions like malloc.

Example: int* arr = (int*)malloc(5 * sizeof(int));
