1. Data
- it is a raw facts to be processed by the computer into information.
- refer to a collection of natural phenomena descriptors including the results of experience, observation or experiment, or a set of premises. This may consist of numbers, words, or images, particularly as measurements or observations of a set of variables.
2. Data Structure
- Is a way of storing data in a computer so that it can be used efficiently.
-is a way of storing data in a computer so that it can be used efficiently. Often a carefully chosen data structure will allow the most efficient algorithm to be used. The choice of the data structure often begins from the choice of an abstract data type. A well-designed data structure allows a variety of critical operations to be performed, using as few resources, both execution time and memory space, as possible. Data structures are implemented by a programming language as data types and the references and operations they provide.
3. Data Type
- In programming languages a data type is an attribute of a datum which tells the computer (and the programmer) something about the kind of datum it is.
-is an attribute of a datum which tells the computer (and the programmer) something about the kind of datum it is. This involves setting constraints on the datum, such as what values it can take and what operations may be performed upon it. Common data types may include: integers, floating-point numbers (decimals), and alphanumeric strings. For example, in the Java programming language, the "int" type represents the set of 32-bit integers ranging in value from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647, as well as the operations that can be performed on integers, such as addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Colors, on the other hand, are represented by three bytes denoting the amounts each of red, green, and blue, and one string representing that color's name; allowable operations include addition and subtraction, but not multiplication.
4.Database Management System
- Computer Software designed for the purpose of managing databases based on a variety of data models.
Interelate:
Data are raw facts and figures which are processed into information. It is a recorded information. It can exist in a variety of forms. When data are related to each other, they can be organized into a sets forming data structures. Data structure is a manner in which data is organized and arranged usually with reference to computer storage or into the computer memory. The kind of data that can be represented on a computer program such as a whole number is called data types. When data is assigned a type, it cannot be treated like another type.
Data is a part of Database Management system since DBMS is a set of interrelated data records. It is a stored collection of the libraries data that are needed by organizations and individuals to meet their information processing and retrieval requirements. Data Structures and Data types are also related to DBMS because DBMS is categorized according to their data structures and data types. DBMS and Data Structure have similarities in their functions because they both arrange and organized data. Further more, Data structures are implemented by a programming language as data types and the references and operations they provide. And that's how Data, Data Structure, Data Types and DBMS are related to each other.
