How to Learn Algorithms And Data Structures

YASH PAL,

If you want to learn algorithms and data structures to build your skills. then you are in right place. to fully understand how to learn algorithms and data structures full read this post. then you guess that this is right for you or not. 

And if you find that this post is right for you then please click on any advertisement shown on this page. it really helps me. so let’s start the topic…

How to learn Algorithm?

If you are a technical person then you should know what is algorithms. and if you don’t know then I will tell you.

The algorithm is a way to solve the problem. and used for creating logics and get the best and simple solution to the problem. and used for getting effective method for a problem. and it has a starting point and ending point. 

Now the technology becomes wide. and every day we face new problems in the technical field. so the algorithm is the best way to solve any problem and get the idea that how a problem solve. and in now time this thing is essential and recommended.

“so there are the lists of topics which you should learn in algorithms for solving any type of technical problem.”

first of all, you need to know what is algorithms and why we used this topic to solve the problem. then you should get started in the field of algorithms. below is given step by step process to learn algorithm. follow and learn all these topics and at the end you will well known to algorithm topic.

Step First
  1. How to sort an algorithm. like how to combined two conditions in one condition.
  2. Should learn how to analyzing and designing algorithm.
Second step
  1. what is big O notation.
  2. what is Asymptotic notation.
  3. what is Standard notation.
Third step
  1. The indicator of random variables and random algorithm.
  2. The hiring problem. 
  3. Probabilistic analysis.
Fourth step
  1. Bellman-Ford algorithm.
  2. Multithreaded algorithms.
  3. Dijkstra’s algorithm.
  4. The simplex algorithm.
  5. Relabel-to-front algorithm.
  6. Johnson’s algorithm.
  7. Floyd-Warshall algorithm.
  8. Kruskal and Prim algorithm.
  9. Push-relabel algorithm.
  10. Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm.
  11. Strassen’s algorithms. 

for the better understanding of algorithm and for practice. you can solve these problems. like Rotations, insertion, deletion, matrix multiplications, recursion, hiring problem.and you should be used algorithms to solve the data structure problems. like how to create link list. 

And how to create stacks and queues. how to represent trees and creating binary trees. problems for Hashtables. for creating Heaps.

How to learn Data Structures?

Further learning Data Structures you have at least knowledge of one programming language. so you can easily and fully understand this topic.

Data structure uses to arrange to data. because in now time the production of data on the internet grow up rapidly. and all the data is in unstructured form.

Data structures included many topics. and to be professional and to solve any problem it’s recommended first. the included topics are –
