I still remember the day I began learning DSA.
I was quite intimidated, probably due to the way it's often hyped up. If memory serves, I started with pseudocode and flowcharts, which helped me ease into the subject.
And I have come so far..
Anything new you attempt may initially seem challenging, but as you immerse yourself in it, it gradually becomes easier.
What is DSA?
Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) are foundational pillars in computer science, for solving complex problems efficiently. Data structures provide a way to organize and store data, making it easier to access and modify.
Common data structures are arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, and hash tables. Each has its unique properties and uses, influencing how data is managed and manipulated.
What are algorithm??
Now I guess this would be quite common term unlike data structures.Have you ever noticed social media platforms like instagram keep on suggesting us the same type of post we reacted to or maybe feeding our insta page with content that interests us !!!
Algorithms are step-by-step procedures or formulas for solving problems. They perform operations on data structures to achieve desired outcomes. Key algorithm categories include sorting , searching and graph algorithms .
Benefits of learning DSA ??
- enhances problem-solving skills
- optimize code
- prepare for technical interviews
- It also lays the groundwork for more advanced topics in computer science.
- Improves coding proficiency but also provides a deeper understanding of how software and applications operate.
