Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
Two lenses classify every data structure.
Every data structure can be classified along two independent axes — by whether it is built into the language, and by how its elements are arranged.
↳ Classification answers two questions: is it built-in, and how are its elements arranged?
The raw bricks of every program.
↳ Primitive structures are the language's built-in single-value types — the raw materials for everything else.
Complex structures grown from simple types.
↳ Non-primitive structures are user-defined groupings built on top of primitive types.
This topic introduces the basic terminology of data structures and how they are classified into primitive and non-primitive, and linear and non-linear types. It also covers examples of each category and how primitive and…

17 questions laddered from warm-up to topper-level, each with an explanation. A taste:
Which of the following is a primitive data structure?
BeginnerInteger
Integer is a basic, built-in type that holds a single value. Array, linked list, and tree are non-primitive collections.
A student says an array of integers is a primitive data structure because it holds integers. What is wrong with this reasoning?
IntermediateThe array is a container built from primitives, so it is non-primitive.
The integers inside the array are primitive, but the array itself is a non-primitive structure built from them. The container and its contents belong to different categories.
Which pair correctly lists only non-linear data structures?
BeginnerTree and graph
Tree and graph arrange elements in a hierarchy or network, making them non-linear. Array, linked list, stack, and queue are linear.
A program needs to store a week of temperature readings and access them quickly by day number. Which structure is most suitable?
IntermediateAn array
An array is a linear non-primitive structure that gives $O(1)$ random access by index, ideal for accessing readings by day number.
