**The logical structures reveal the logical relationships between data elements**. In arrays and linked lists, data are arranged in a specific sequence, demonstrating the linear relationship between data; while in trees, data are arranged hierarchically from the top down, showing the derived relationship between "ancestors" and "descendants"; and graphs are composed of nodes and edges, reflecting the intricate network relationship.
As shown in the Figure 3-1 , logical structures can be divided into two major categories: "linear" and "non-linear". Linear structures are more intuitive, indicating data is arranged linearly in logical relationships; non-linear structures, conversely, are arranged non-linearly.

**During the execution of an algorithm, the data being processed is stored in memory**. The Figure 3-2 shows a computer memory stick where each black square is a physical memory space. We can think of memory as a vast Excel spreadsheet, with each cell capable of storing a certain amount of data.

**The system accesses the data at the target location by means of a memory address**. As shown in the Figure 3-2 , the computer assigns a unique identifier to each cell in the table according to specific rules, ensuring that each memory space has a unique memory address. With these addresses, the program can access the data stored in memory.

Memory is a shared resource for all programs. When a block of memory is occupied by one program, it cannot be simultaneously used by other programs. **Therefore, considering memory resources is crucial in designing data structures and algorithms**. For instance, the algorithm's peak memory usage should not exceed the remaining free memory of the system; if there is a lack of contiguous memory blocks, then the data structure chosen must be able to be stored in non-contiguous memory blocks.
As illustrated in the Figure 3-3 , **the physical structure reflects the way data is stored in computer memory** and it can be divided into contiguous space storage (arrays) and non-contiguous space storage (linked lists). The two types of physical structures exhibit complementary characteristics in terms of time efficiency and space efficiency.
