Data structures/Applications

"In most applications of data structures, we wish to perform not just a single operation but a sequence of operations, possibly having correlated behavior."[1] Bold added.

Data structures are used in a number of computer applications such as searching, sorting, graph traversing, finding the shortest path from one city to another, resolving traffic problems, in processing online requests or online transactions, alerting users of stock market prices, scheduling of jobs in operating systems, searching details of a student in a university data base ... and so on.
