Hash Tables

Understanding what hash tables are and how they work, collisions, common operations, etc.

#data-structures

Arrays and Linked Lists

Features and implementation of linked lists and arrays, singly and doubly linked lists, circular linked lists, common operations, etc.

#data-structures

Stacks and Queues

A stack is container where pieces of data enter and exit from a single end, following the last-in-first-out (LIFO) principle.

#data-structures

Trees

Trees, nodes, binary trees, breadth-first search, depth-first search, pre-order, in-order and post-order traversal, common operations, etc.

#data-structures

Graphs

Graphs, cycles, adjacency matrix and adjacency list, implementations, etc.

#data-structures

Recursion

Recursion is when a function calls itself, reducing a task to smaller subtasks until reaching a base subtask that it can perform without calling itself, and then using the result of that base subtask in the smaller subtasks until reaching a final result.

#algorithms

Sort Algorithms

Bubble sort, selection sort, insertion sort, merge sort, quick sort, counting sort, bucket sort, etc.

#algorithms

Search Algorithms

Linear search, binary search, ternary search, jump search, exponential search, etc.

Heaps and Tries

A heap is a type of tree with two properties: completion and heap property. A heap is complete, i.e. every level is fully filled, or has nodes inserted consecutively from left to right.
