Often times, using the correct data structure can make the difference in getting the job or not. </p> <p>We made a video on some key data structures you need to know for your code interviews, including examples of when you should use each data structure and a links to them in Leetcode for practice. </p> <p>This tutorial goes into...</p> <p>Arrays<br> Linked lists<br> Stacks/queues <br> Hash tables<br> Heaps<br> Binary trees</p> <p>Happy coding! </p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_ZuEy9_W_E">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_ZuEy9_W_E</a> </p> datascience python tutorial career Jillian Stenzel Fri, 27 Mar 2020 21:58:07 +0000 https://dev.to/kite/quick-guide-to-sorting-algorithms-fastest-comparison-sort-1eho https://dev.to/kite/quick-guide-to-sorting-algorithms-fastest-comparison-sort-1eho <p>We made a video breaking down comparison sorts into three levels: N^2, N log N, &amp; hybrid algorithms + a fun animation comparing the algorithms to see which one is the fastest! </p> <p>After watching, you should have a better understanding of the different types of sorting algorithms as well as the benefits and drawbacks of each and when to use them.
