Description

Data structures are a way of organizing and storing data in a computer so that it can be accessed and manipulated efficiently. If you want to become an accomplished programmer and master this subject, then this book is for you.

The book starts by introducing you to the fascinating world of data structures and algorithms. This book will help you learn about different algorithmic techniques such as Dynamic programming, Greedy algorithms, and Backtracking, and their applications in solving various computational problems. The book will then teach you how to analyze the complexity of Recursive algorithms. Moving on, the book will help you get familiar with the concept of Linked lists, which is an important foundation for understanding other data structures, such as Stacks and Queues, which are covered in detail later in this book. The book will also teach you about advanced data structures such as Trees and Graphs, their different types, and their applications. Towards the end, the book will teach you how to use various Sorting, Searching Selection and String algorithms.

By the end of the book, you will get a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of various data structures and algorithms and their applications in solving real-world computational problems efficiently.

What you will learn
