Chapter 10

In module 10 the general overview was about understanding data. This chapter made me realize that practically everything in our word now is some form of data. The first concept the book talks about is the process of collecting data, forming information, and converting it to knowledge. The books uses an example with test grades to explain it but the more I thought just about that concept I could come up with a lot of example that use that concept. That concept in and of itself is important because without the information and knowledge, data is just numbers, letters, and symbols that don’t have any base to teach us anything.

I was completely unaware of the different types of data structures. The only data structure that I had heard of was que as if you’re standing in line but was unaware that it was a type of data structure. I found it interesting that certain structures looked very similar to things we use in the academia world. Linked lists resembled a flow chart that we use to plan out the sequence of how things are going to happen. In addition to the linked list, the binary tree resembled a tree graph, something we used back in elementary math.
