Coursera Data Structures and Algorithms Specialization: Algorithm Warm-up(Week 1)
I maintain this note to document my advancements in the Data Structures and Algorithms Specialization course that I enrolled in on Coursera.
The course is structured into weekly modules, with each week dedicated to a specific topic. In this article, I will document my learning from the initial week.
The following topics are highlighted in the first week:
- Why do algorithms matter?
- Algorithms are key for solving problems.
- There can be multiple algorithms for the same problem, each with potentially varying running times. A well-designed algorithm considers computational complexities to produce accurate and efficient results.
2. What are the dependable resources we can utilize while studying this course?
- Ace Your Next Coding Interview by Learning Algorithms
- Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science
- Assignments C++ Implementation
- Assignments Python Implementation
3. How to program to demonstrate that we have implemented the right algorithm?
In programming, ensuring proper input reception and output presentation is crucial. This course…
