Semi-Structured Data

Semi-Structured Data is a DSA topic. In plain words you use it for a short Semi-Structured Data example in a short dry-run on paper. Don’t start with a slogan — start with that picture.

Smallest example: the smallest Semi-Structured Data example you can type. Type it, run it, and say what you see. If you can do that from memory, you know Semi-Structured Data.

From the example next to this theory — Semi-Structured Data: dry-run [4, 1, 3].

Trap — only saying “Semi-Structured Data” with no example. Fix that before you talk about advanced DSA.

Viva: what is Semi-Structured Data? Then show the smallest Semi-Structured Data example you can type. Then name the trap.

Exam tip

What is Semi-Structured Data? Show this: the smallest Semi-Structured Data example you can type. Trap: only saying “Semi-Structured Data” with no example.

Example

# Semi-Structured Data
data = [4, 1, 3]
print("start", data)
if data[0] > data[1]:
    data[0], data[1] = data[1], data[0]
print("after one step", data)

Semi-Structured Data: dry-run [4, 1, 3]. Say the list after one step.
