Course Outcomes

• Develop strong analytical skills to approach problems, think critically about multiple solutions, and choose the most efficient one.
• Gain a thorough understanding of fundamental data structures like arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, heap, trees, and graphs, and their applications in computing.
• Understand key algorithms for searching, sorting, and hashing, as well as graph algorithms, recursion, dynamic programming, and greedy techniques.
• Learn to optimize solutions for better performance in terms of time and space complexity, crucial for efficient software development.

Approach

• Utilize platforms like Hackerrank, Leetcode, and Codeforces to practice problem-solving and trying multiple solutions and optimizing them.
• Participate in global contests on Leetcode, Codeforces, and Hackerrank to know your current understanding and shortcomings.
• Use online sites like Visualgo and Algoviz to visualize different algorithms and understand them in a practical way.
• Practice some interesting problems from the CS primer to enhance your concepts on DSA.
