Detailed explanation-1: -Data structures make it easy for users to access and work with the data they need in appropriate ways. Most importantly, data structures frame the organization of information so that machines and humans can better understand it.
Detailed explanation-2: -Organized code becomes much easier to maintain and extend over time than code that is placed wildly about. That’s why programmers take so much care to name variables/methods/etc. well, keep methods short and specific, and so on.
Detailed explanation-3: -Arrays make it possible to organize data in an efficient manner because the indices make it possible to retrieve any element. They are relatively easy to implement. However, all the elements have to be of the same type, and searching through a large array can be time consuming if it is not sorted.
Detailed explanation-4: -A data structure is a particular way of storing and organizing data in a computer so that it can be used efficiently.
