About This Course

The Data Structure and Algorithm with C++ course offers a comprehensive learning of the advanced topics along with a rich collection of practice exercises for deeper understanding. Besides learning the fundamentals of basic data structures like arrays, linked lists, stacks, and queues, you’ll also be working with advanced data structures trees (binary, binary search, AVL, and heap), graphs, and hash tables. Learn how to measure the efficiency of an algorithm using time(how long it takes) and space(space/memory) complexity metrics. For the practical implications, you’ll be sorting algorithms (bubble, insertion, selection, merge, quick, heap) and searching techniques (linear, binary). The course further extends to dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, and advanced tree structures like B-trees. Get access to the C++ Standard Template Library (STL) that features containers (vector, list, deque, stack, queue, priority queue, map, set) and iterators. The course includes exercises and solutions that are useful for both students and professionals. It aims to help you prepare for technical job interviews that typically involve coding questions.

Data structure refers to the organization and arrangement of data in an IT setup whereas Algorithm is the step-by-step process of using this stored data for desired results. Deep understanding of both the concepts will enable you to write efficient, scalable, and well-structured C++ programs.

Yes, with C++ you can access the standard template library (STL) that facilitates the creation and manipulation of complex data structures.

This would typically depend on the type of data, operations, memory constraints, and time complexity. Once you have an understanding of these factors, you can choose the most appropriate data set for your application.

It will improve your problem-solving skills and enhance your C++ programming skills. With a solid foundation in DSA you’ll be able to crack the coding job interviews with ease and confidently place yourself in high-paid jobs.

Essential Algorithms: A practical Approach to Computer Algorithms Using Python and C#. It teaches you how to write codes in both the programming languages.
