On Data Structures

A data structure[^1] is any data that’s represented with its operations/methods.
- Often used to describe the way a collection of items is organized.
- Basic operations are retrieval/reading, insertion, and deletion.
  - These are described by the interface of the data structure’s abstract data type.[^2]
  - An abstract data type, abbreviated ADT, is a data type’s spec in a language
