How do you improve algorithm questions?

Wrap Up

1. Have a good understanding of the basics.
2. Clearly understand what happens in an algorithm.
3. Work out the steps of an algorithm with examples.
4. Understand complexity analysis thoroughly.
5. Try to implement the algorithms on your own.
6. Keep note of important things so you can refer later.

How can I learn DS algorithm?

Here is a step-by-step plan to improve your data structure and algorithm skills:

1. Step 1: Understand Depth vs.
2. Step 2: Start the Depth-First Approach—make a list of core questions.
3. Step 3: Master each data structure.
4. Step 4: Spaced Repetition.
5. Step 5: Isolate techniques that are reused.
6. Step 6: Now, it’s time for Breadth.

What are the different types of algorithmic contests?

101-Hack – A monthly algorithmic contest in which five challenges have to be solved within 2 hours. HourRank – The shortest contest format in which 3-4 algorithm challenges need to be solved within 1 hour. Week of Code – A weeklong algorithm contest where one new challenge is offered each day.

Why is it important to practice these algorithms based questions?

It’s important that you practice these Algorithms based questions because even though they seem obvious and easy, sometimes they become tricky to solve in the actual interview, especially if you have never coded them by yourself.

Are there any coding problems based on sorting algorithms?

Now we have seen some coding problems based upon search algorithms, let’s dive into coding problems based on sorting algorithms: 6. Implement the Bubble sort Algorithm? (solution) Isn’t this was the first sorting algorithm you learn?

Can we use an everyday example to demonstrate a high-level algorithm?

We can use an everyday example to demonstrate a high-level algorithm. Problem: I need a send a birthday card to my brother, Mark. Analysis: I don’t have a card.
