What You'll Learn
- Analyze algorithm efficiency using Big-O, Big-Omega, and Big-Theta notation to evaluate time and space complexity of Python solutions.
- Implement core linear data structures, including arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, and hash tables, along with their key operations and collision-handling techniques.
- Build and traverse hierarchical data structures such as binary trees, binary search trees, AVL trees, and min/max heaps to solve structured problems.
- Apply graph representations and traversal algorithms across adjacency matrices and lists to solve connectivity, bipartite, and pathfinding problems.
- Solve string, searching, and sorting problems using pattern matching, linear and binary search, and algorithms like merge sort, quick sort, and heap sort.
- Design recursive solutions for problems, including Fibonacci, combination sum, generate parentheses, and N-Queens, using Python.
