Algorithms and Data Structures Tutorial - Full Course for Beginners

Overview

In this course you will learn about algorithms and data structures, two of the fundamental topics in computer science. There are three main parts to this course: algorithms, data structures, and a deep dive into sorting and searching algorithms.

By the end, you will understand what algorithms and data structures are, how they are measured and evaluated, and how they are used to solve problems.

This course was developed by Pasan Premaratne and Jay McGavren. It was made possible by a grant from teamtreehouse.com
