Algorithms & Data Structures

Algorithms and data structures are the essential frameworks for solving almost any computer engineering problem. You need a fundamental grasp of these tools to understand how computers and programming languages work, their relative strengths and weaknesses and what makes a specific solution the best choice.

In this course, you’ll examine, create, compare and test the major types of algorithms and data structures. You’ll learn how to conduct a Big-O analysis to assess the complexity and runtime of your code, and how to understand the tradeoffs of using different algorithms and data structures. You’ll learn to identify different problem-solving approaches and how to forge solutions for optimal performance and efficiency.
