Advanced Data Structures refer to complex and specialized arrangements of data that enable efficient storage, retrieval, and manipulation of information in computer science and programming. These structures go beyond basic data types like arrays and lists, offering sophisticated ways to organize and manage data for optimal performance in various algorithms and applications.
