C programming and data structures

Is c programming and data structures are two different subjects? Or data structures are followed by c programming. Actually, there was a Course C programming in my 2nd semester and now in 3rd semester data structures. Please guide me.

Let's try to understand in different way... C is like "alphabets" i.e. a to z and Data Structure is like "words" i.e. with the help of alphabets we make words, some are meaningfull that is right word, some are meaningless that is wrong word. The relation between alphabets and words are same as relation between 'C' and 'Data structure'. We use alphabets for making words. We use C syntax and functions for implementing Data Structures. Hope you understand Regards!

No C is a programming language. A data structure is a particular way of organizing data in a computer so that it can be used effectively. Eg - array, linked list, etc. You can use any language to learn Data Structures. In college mostly they teach c program first then follow the same language to teach Data Structures. They both are different you will understand it while you learning it.

No they are not same. You may use C to implement a certain data structures, but that doesn't make them same.
