Explore data structures such as linked lists, stacks, queues, hash tables, and graphs; and search and sort algorithms!
Most computer programs are based on a few data structures and algorithms. Learn about what’s behind the hood of most of your computer interactions in this four-hour course! You’ll familiarize yourself with some of the most common data structures: linked lists, stacks, queues, graphs and trees. You’ll also implement popular algorithms, such as Depth First Search, Breadth First Search, Bubble sort, Merge sort, and Quicksort.
You'll practice applying data structures and algorithms to decks of cards, music playlists, international dishes, and stacks of books. You’ll walk away with the ability to recognize common data structures and algorithms and implement them in day-to-day applications!
Along the way, you’ll stop to analyze popular algorithms in terms of their efficiency. You’ll come to grips with “Big O Notation”, the industry standard for describing the complexity of an algorithm.
Being well-versed in data structures and algorithms means taking everyday problems and solving them using efficient code. You’ll be practising this in Python, taking these fundamental and transferable skills to any programming language.
