Overview of the Data Structures & Algorithms Course

Whether you’re preparing for technical interviews or aiming to write more efficient and scalable code solutions, this course equips you with the all the fundamentals skills to excel

Week 1: Foundational Algorithms

Dive into the world of algorithms, learning how to analyse their efficiency and implement essential array search and sorting techniques. This week covers:

  • Algorithm analysis with Big-O notation
  • Array search algorithms (Linear vs Binary)
  • Basic sorting algorithms e.g. Selection & Bubble Sort
  • Recursive sorting algorithms i.e. Merge Sort & Quicksort

Week 2: Linear Data Structures

Explore the backbone of data organization in programming with a focus on how each data structure works, how to implement it, and when to apply. This week covers:

  • Static and dynamic arrays
  • Hashmaps and hashing techniques
  • Linked lists (Singly and Doubly linked)
  • Stacks, Queues, and Dequeues

Week 3-4: Divide & Conquer Algorithms

Tackle complex optimisation problems with advanced algorithmic strategies. You’ll master:

  • Greedy algorithms for optimisation problems
  • Recursion & dynamic programming foundations
  • Common dynamic programming patterns & recognition
  • Grid-based (2D or 3D) dynamic programming challenges

Week 4-5: Dynamic Data Structures

Master advanced data structures i.e. Trees & Graphs as well as their applications. You’ll master:

  • Tree structures and operations
  • Tries and Heaps for efficient data retrieval
  • Graph theory and graph implementations
  • Advanced graph algorithms e.g. DFS, BFS, pathfinding, etc.
