How much time does it take to master data structures and algorithms?
If you spend about 3 to 4 hours a day learning and understanding data structures and algorithms, it might take you about 6 to 8 weeks to learn. However, there is no specific timetable for how long you will be able to learn data structures and algorithms since it still depends on you and your pacing.
How do you become a pro in data structures and algorithms?
7 steps to improve your data structure and algorithm skills
- Step 1: Understand Depth vs.
- Step 2: Start the Depth-First Approach—make a list of core questions.
- Step 3: Master each data structure.
- Step 4: Spaced Repetition.
- Step 5: Isolate techniques that are reused.
- Step 6: Now, it’s time for Breadth.
Should I learn to implement algorithms after I’ve learned C?
If you’ve learned C, you have enough of a foundation to understand how to implement algorithms and data structures, so if that’s what interests you, you should have no problem going ahead with that. However, I’m not going to tell you that that’s what you should do; it depends on your objectives.
What can I do with my data structure and algorithm knowledge?
There are lot of sectors that you can implement your data structure and algorithm knowledge if you want to. For examples: Graphs: This data structure has a lot of use in social networking website. Like Facebook uses for managing its advertisements, for uploading new photos and also for newer posts that you share on facebook.
Why do we need to learn data structures?
Learning data structures allows you to analyze the time and space complexity which determines how fast a program runs and how efficiently it uses computer space. Learning data structures can help you a lot at job interviews. Conclusion: by learning data structures you can develop any kind of applications efficiently.
What programming language should I learn to learn DS and Algo?
You do not need to learn specific languages for learning DS and Algo, both are concepts. You learn and understand them, after that you can implement them using any programming language like C, C++, Python, Java, etc. If I do all problems in leetcode, will I be able to ace Google interview?
