What is the difference between a data type and a data structure ?
| Data Type | Data Structure |
|---|---|
| A data type is the kind of a variable.it defines that a particular variable will only assign values of a given type only. | Data structure is the collection of different form of data. |
| It is in the form of abstract implementation. | Implementation is called concrete implementation. |
| It can hold values and not data. It is called a dataless. | It can hold different types of data within one single object. |
| Values can be directly assigned to variables. | Some algorithms and operations like push, pop are used to assign values. |
| No problem of time complexity. | Time complexity is there. |
| Eg: Integer, Character, Double etc. | Eg: Linked List, Queue, Tre etc. |
