Algorithms
Master fundamental and advanced algorithms essential for technical interviews at top companies. This category covers sorting algorithms, search algorithms, graph algorithms, and optimization techniques that form the foundation of computer science problem-solving.
What You’ll Learn:
Sorting algorithms: Quick sort, merge sort, heap sort
Search techniques: Binary search and variations
Graph algorithms: DFS, BFS, Dijkstra’s, topological sort
Optimization: Dynamic programming, greedy algorithms
Time and space complexity analysis
Difficulty Progression: Start with basic sorting and searching, then progress to graph algorithms and dynamic programming.
Interview Frequency: Extremely high – algorithms appear in 80%+ of technical interviews at Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple.
