Course Summary

Data Structures and Algorithms are the building blocks of Software Engineering. Understanding data structures is integral to participate in competitive programming, as it helps in making decisions on what data structure is to be utilised to solve a given problem most efficiently. Competitive programmers use their acquaintance of data structures, logical reasoning and programming skills to solve difficult algorithmic problems. Competitive coding helps in getting better placement opportunities and career enhancement by appearing for coding tests or competitions like ACM-ICPC, Google Code Jam, Facebook Hacker Cup, and the like, on completion of this course.

The course will make learners get familiar with the data structures thoroughly. Beginning with bit and byte manipulations, learners will understand the mathematics behind it and know how to perform recursion efficiently, how to deal with arrays, strings, linked list, all linear and non-linear data structures. They will also be exposed to more complex problem statements to build logical thinking.
