Learning algorithms and data structures from this book will help you become a better programmer. Algorithms and data structures will make you think more logically. Furthermore, they can help you design better systems for storing and processing data. They also serve as a tool for optimization and problem-solving.

Benefits of This Book:

Learning algorithms and data structures from this book will help you become a better programmer. Algorithms and data structures will make you think more logically. Furthermore, they can help you design better systems for storing and processing data. They also serve as a tool for optimization and problem-solving.

As a result, the concepts of algorithms and data structures are very valuable in any field. For example, you can use them when building a web app or writing software for other devices. You can apply them to machine learning and data analytics, which are two hot areas right now. If you are a hacker, algorithms and data structures in Python are also important for you everywhere.

Now, whatever your preferred learning style, I've got you covered. If you're a visual learner, you'll love my clear diagrams and illustrations throughout this book. If you're a practical learner, you'll love my hands-on lessons so that you can get practical with algorithms and data structures and learn in a hands-on way.

We're going to use data structures that come built into nearly all programming languages as our point of reference. While we will explain the basics of how these structures work, we won't be going over how to use them in practice. If you're looking to learn how to program in Python before digging into this content, check out the following book that completely simplifies Python programming language for beginners: "Python Programming from Beginner to Paid Professional Part 1: Learn Python for Automation & IT with Video Tutorials". Even if you know nothing about Python, as long as you understand the fundamentals of programming, you should be able to follow along pretty well. If you're good to go, then awesome.

Course Structure:

There are three volumes in this course. This is volume two. In volume one, I took a deep dive into the world of algorithms. I covered what algorithms are, how they work, and where they can be found (real life applications).

In this part of the series (volume two), we'll work through an introduction to data structures. You're going to learn about two introductory data structures - arrays and linked lists. You'll look at common operations and how the runtimes of these operations affect our everyday code.

In the third volume, you're going to bring your knowledge of algorithms and data structures together to solve the problem of sorting data using the Merge Sort algorithm. We will look at algorithms in two categories: sorting and searching. You'll implement well-known sorting algorithms like Selection Sort, Quicksort, and Merge Sort. You'll also learn basic search algorithms like Sequential Search and Binary Search.

At the end of many sections of this course, short practice exercises are provided to test your understanding of the topic discussed. Answers are also provided so you can check how well you have performed in each section. At the end of the course, you will find a link to download more helpful resources, such as codes and screenshots used in this book, and more practice exercises. You can use them for quick references and revision as well. My support link is also provided so you to contact me any time if you have questions or need further help.

By the end of this course, you will understand what algorithms and data structures are, how they are measured and evaluated, and how they are used to solve real-life problems. So, everything you need is right here in this book. I really hope you’ll enjoy it. Are you ready? Let's dive in!
