Explanation

The Abstract Data Type

Abstract Data Type is defined as the mathematical model for data types, where a data type is defined by its behavior based on the point of view of a user of the data.

  • ADT in Computer Science is used for the purpose of designing and analysis of algorithms, data structures and the software systems
  • For example the values -2, -1,0, 1,2 are the integers in ADT, the corresponding operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division along with greater than, less than etc behave according to the familiar Mathematics.
  • Abstract Data Types are purely theoretical entities.
