A.Linear Structures

♥Linear structures - are constructs which form a linear chain. Such a chain consists of elements which are linked in direct succession and the order of the elements is fixed. For instance, one type of action results in one response, which then produces another certain type of action that results in another response and so on.
According to Koestler, the Behaviorists think that "all human activities can be reduced to a linear chain of [stimulus-response] units." This idea states that complex behavior is the result of chaining, or linguistic structuring, of stimulus-response links.

♥Description

  • Contains two widgets, each on either side of an adjustable separator.
  • Displays a list of multi item rows from which the user can select.
  • Structures whose items may be accessed sequentially, one-way.

B.Nonlinear Structures

♥Non-Linear Data structure is having several path that start from the first element and traverse the data structure.

Example:Tree because it has one root but have several branches.Graph because it is similar but it can also be a circular path.
