Fundamentals

Non-Linear Data Structures are a classification of Non-Primitive Data Structures that organizes data in multilevel manner.

Features of Non-Linear Data Structures

• Data Elements are arranged in a sorted order
• A Data Element has a Hierarchical Relationship to another Data Element
• All Data Elements cannot be traversed in a single run/iteration
• Complex to Implement
• Memory Utilization is Effective since Data Elements are declared in memory dynamically as it arrives
• Examples are Tree & Graph
