ADT has various meanings in the IT Terminology category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of ADT in IT Terminology.
In computer science, an abstract data type (ADT) is a mathematical model for a certain class of data structures that have similar behavior, or for certain data types of one or more programming languages that have similar semantics. An abstract data type is defined indirectly, only by the operations that may be performed on it and by mathematical constraints on the effects (and possibly cost) of those operations.
