List of data structures

This is a list of well-known data structures. For a wider list of terms, see list of terms relating to algorithms and data structures. For a comparison of running times for a subset of this list see comparison of data structures.

Data types

Primitive types

• Boolean, true or false.
• Character
• Floating-point representation of a finite subset of the rationals.
• Fixed-point representation of the rationals
• Integer, a direct representation of either the integers or the non-negative integers
• Reference, sometimes erroneously referred to as a pointer or handle, is a value that refers to another value, possibly including itself
• Symbol, a unique identifier
• Enumerated type, a set of symbols

Composite types or non-primitive type

• Array, a sequence of elements of the same type stored contiguously in memory
• Record (also called a structure or struct), a collection of fields
  • Product type (also called a tuple), a record in which the fields are not named
• String, a sequence of characters representing text
• Union, a datum which may be one of a set of types
• Tagged union (also called a variant, discriminated union or sum type), a union with a tag specifying which type the data is

Abstract data types

Some properties of abstract data types:

"Ordered" means that the elements of the data type have some kind of explicit order to them, where an element can be considered "before" or "after" another element. This order is usually determined by the order in which the elements are added to the structure, but the elements can be rearranged in some contexts, such as sorting a list. For a structure that isn't ordered, on the other hand, no assumptions can be made about the ordering of the elements (although a physical implementation of these data types will often apply some kind of arbitrary ordering). "Uniqueness" means that duplicate elements are not allowed. Depending on the implementation of the data type, attempting to add a duplicate element may either be ignored, overwrite the existing element, or raise an error. The detection for duplicates is based on some inbuilt (or alternatively, user-defined) rule for comparing elements.
