(Data Type | Data Structure)

About

A type is the classification of value according to:

• how they are represented (the structure)
• the properties that they have (the operations)

A data structure is a complex data type that can not be compared/represented by a unique value.

Example

• Data Type - (Primitive|Native|Built-in)
• Rows and columns (Matrix, Table)
• Nodes and edges
• Commit Log
• key-value pairs
• sequence of bytes
• ….

You will not find language data structure in this section such as:

• Markup Language (ML) (Xml, Json)
• Procedural language
