Training Course Content
Most computer programs are based on a few data structures and algorithms. Learn about what’s behind the hood of most of your computer interactions in this four-hour course! You’ll familiarize yourself with some of the most common data structures: linked lists, stacks, queues, and trees. You’ll also implement popular algorithms, such as Depth First Search, Breadth First Search, Bubble sort, Merge sort, and Quicksort.
Learn to Spot Data Structures and Algorithms in Everyday Life
You'll practice applying data structures and algorithms to decks of cards, music playlists, international dishes, and stacks of books. You’ll walk away with the ability to recognize common data structures and algorithms, and implement them in day-to-day applications!
Analyze the Efficiency of Algorithms
Along the way, you’ll stop to analyze popular algorithms in terms of their efficiency. You’ll come to grips with “Big O Notation”, the industry standard for describing the complexity of an algorithm.
Sharpen Your Python Programming Knowledge
Being well-versed with data structures and algorithms means being able to take everyday problems and solve them using efficient code. You’ll be practising this in Python, you’ll take these fundamental and transferable skills with you to any programming language.
