The data appearing in our data structure is processed by means of certain operations. Infect, the particular data structure that one chooses for a given situation depends largely on the frequency with which specific operations are performed.The following four operations play a major role:
Transversing
Accessing each record exactly once so that certain items in the record may be processed.(This accessing or processing is sometimes called 'visiting" the records.)
Searching
Finding the location of the record with a given key value, or finding the locations of all records, which satisfy one or more conditions.
Inserting
Adding new records to the structure.
Deleting
Removing a record from the structure.
Sometimes two or more data structure of operations may be used in a given situation; e.g., we may want to delete the record with a given key, which may mean we first need to search for the location of the record.
