What is data structures and algorithms in C++?
A data structure is a named location that can be used to store and organize data. And, an algorithm is a collection of steps to solve a particular problem. Learning data structures and algorithms allow us to write efficient and optimized computer programs.
How do you read data structures?
Put simply, a data structure refers to a group of data values, how they relate to each other, and the operations or functions that can be carried out on them. Remember it this way: Programs= algorithms+data structures. Data structures=related data+allowed operations on that data.
How do you learn an algorithm from scratch?
Wrap Up
- Have a good understanding of the basics.
- Clearly understand what happens in an algorithm.
- Work out the steps of an algorithm with examples.
- Understand complexity analysis thoroughly.
- Try to implement the algorithms on your own.
- Keep note of important things so you can refer later.
How do you prepare data structures and algorithms?
Here is a step-by-step plan to improve your data structure and algorithm skills:
- Step 1: Understand Depth vs.
- Step 2: Start the Depth-First Approach—make a list of core questions.
- Step 3: Master each data structure.
- Step 4: Spaced Repetition.
- Step 5: Isolate techniques that are reused.
- Step 6: Now, it’s time for Breadth.
What is Narasimha’s background in Computer Science?

Why should I read DSDS & Algo books?
DS & Algo is not that skill that is going to be developed by just mugging up the things theoretically without applying them in projects and assignments. But books does provide you with proper knowledge of how to implement that particular knowledge in your projects and assignments.
