Fundamentals of Data Structures

• Data Structures: A data structure is a format used to store, organise and manage data in a way that allows efficient access and modification for the needs of the program.
• Arrays: A data structure for storing a finite, ordered set of data of the same data type within a single identifier.
• Multi-Dimensional Arrays: An array where each data item is located using multiple indices.
• Single-Dimensional Arrays: An array where each data item can be located using a single index.
• Binary File: An organised collection of records where data is stored in binary.
• Fields: A single item of data.
• Why are formulations important in industry?

  They ensure stability and effective delivery
• What is the role of formulation design in manufacturing?

  It ensures stability, performance, cost control, and compliance
• What characterizes emulsion formulations?

  They are mixtures of liquids
• How does a shampoo formulation achieve its desired outcome?

  By combining detergents, conditioners, and preservatives
• What is a key feature of aerosol formulations?

  They are applied as sprays
• Why are chemicals blended in a formulation?

  To enhance properties, stability, and effectiveness
