This tutorial launches a short series introducing data structures and algorithms. In Part 1, you’ll learn what a data structure is and how data structures are classified.

Like arrays, which were introduced in Part 3 of this tutorial series, linked lists are a fundamental data structure category upon which more complex data structures can be based.

Learn when and how to use different data structures and their algorithms in your own code. This is harder as a student, as the problem assignments you'll work through just won't impart this knowledge.
