Q1) (a)

Differentiate between linear and non linear data structures.

Linear data structure NonLinear data structure
A data structure is said to be Linear, if its elements are connected in linear fashion by means of logically or in sequence memory locations. Nonlinear data structures are those data structure in which data items are not arranged in a sequence.
Nonlinear data structures are those data structure in which data items are not arranged in a sequence. Every item is attached with many other items.
Data items can be traversed in a single run. Data can not be traversed in a single run.
Examples of Linear Data Structure are Stack and Queue. Examples of Non-linear Data Structure are Tree and Graph.
It is easy to implement. It is difficult to implement.
