Pretty much learning how to structure data and use it for applications. It does not necessarily have to be object oriented.
Common data structures are arrays, lists, linked lists, binary trees, queues, objects, etc.
Now to teach you will take some time. I would suggest finding the information on your own and teaching yourself. Taking a class probably would not hurt so it can give you a different perspective on the material.
Just think of it like this who taught Michael Jordan how to shoot the fade-away jumper.

It's programming data structures. It's a good object oriented way to define program flow and logic. For example, if an algorithm processes things in a first come, first served manner, then using a data structure called a Queue makes sense.
get a book on data structures and follow the examples, that will teach you what you need to know.

I assume this is a college class you're going to take? From my college days, I recall that this was the second level CS class.
It's the study of how data is structures and stored. You'll likely learn about arrays, linked lists, trees, and so forth. You'll likely learn about memory allocation, pros/cons of different structures, and algorithms to build and traverse these structures.
It's be impossible, here, to teach you the whole thing. You'd be best off getting a book on this topic. Off the top of my head, I can't specifically recommend one. However, if you ARE a student, checking with your college bookstore should turn up books on the subject. If you're not a student, check out the computer science section of a big library (if you live in a major city), techie bookstore (Micro Center), or (as I said) college bookstore. I'm sure you can find something on Amazon.

Doing things with the data structures as matrices, structs, lists, trees etc. You can sort them change the order, convert etc. This is from the top of my head. No google. You could though run some search engine.

in a nutshell, its about getting memory from heapspace
