Answer from AI

Main types of data structures and their applications:

  • Array — an ordered set of elements of fixed size. Used for storing data with quick access by index.
  • List — a dynamic collection of elements, allowing adding and removing elements. In Flutter, List is often used to store sequences.
  • Stack — a data structure with the LIFO (last-in, first-out) principle. Used for implementing undo actions, graph traversal.
  • Queue — a structure with the FIFO (first-in, first-out) principle. Used in scheduling and event processing tasks.
  • Hash table (Map/Dictionary) — stores key-value pairs with quick access by key. In Flutter, this is Map.
  • Tree — a hierarchical structure, such as a binary search tree for fast search and sorting.

In Flutter/Dart, most often List, Set, and Map are used to solve most data-related tasks.
