Course Overview

Data structures and algorithms are essential in computer science since they play a crucial role in efficient information retrieval and processing, dealing with files, storing contacts on phones, social networks and web searches. In this course, you’ll learn about the array-based implementation of various linear data structures, stack, and queues. You’ll also learn about linked list-based implementation. Next, you’ll explore advanced data structures like skiplists and hashing. You’ll learn how to implement ...Show More
