Answer from AI

The most common data structures in programming:

  • Arrays — ordered collections of elements of the same type, accessible by index.
  • Lists — dynamic collections, such as linked lists, allowing efficient insertion and deletion of elements.
  • Stacks — structures with access based on the LIFO (last in, first out) principle.
  • Queues — structures with access based on the FIFO (first in, first out) principle.
  • Hash Tables — associative arrays providing quick access by key.
  • Trees — hierarchical structures, such as binary search trees.
  • Graphs — sets of nodes and edges used to model relationships.

In Python, standard data structures include lists, tuples, sets, and dictionaries, which cover many of the concepts listed.
