Arrays
Arrays are fundamental data structures in programming that allow storing and organizing collections of data of the same type. Mastering the use of arrays is essential for any programmer.

Maps (Dictionaries)
Maps (also called hashes or dictionaries) are data structures that associate keys with values. They allow ultra fast access to elements through unique keys. In Python they are known as dictionaries.
Linked Lists
Linked lists are a dynamic and flexible data structure that allows efficiently storing collections of elements. Unlike arrays, linked lists do not require reserving a fixed size in advance.
Stacks
Stacks are an abstract data structure that operates under the LIFO (last in, first out) principle, where the last element to enter is the first to leave.
Queues
Queues are an abstract data structure that operates under the FIFO (first in, first out) principle, where the first element to enter is also the first to leave. Queues are used to order elements so that the first to arrive is processed first. Understanding their operation is essential for any programmer.
