Data structures introduction

Key Takeaways

hello and welcome to the easy to Advanced de structure series a complete guide to learning everything there is to know about de structures my name is William and I will be your instructor throughout these videos to begin with a little bit about myself my passion revolves around algorithms and data structures which led me to becoming involved in lots of competitive programming in 2017 I qualified for the ACM IPC World Finals programming competition my current occupation to today is as a software engineer for Google I'm currently stationed in Mountain View California at the head office now I want to talk to you about what you will be learning in this data structures course first you will see how data structures are represented visually through animations animations are essential part of the learning experience which is why all of my videos include animations accompanied by simple explanations we will learn how to code various data structures together with simple to follow step-by-step instructions for every data structure we will be going over some working source code to solidify your understanding I will also be posting various coding exercises and multiple choice questions to ensure that you can get some handson experience for the data structures themselves we will begin with the easiest and the most fundamental ones and slowly start increasing the difficulty we will begin with a dynamic array and then soon move on to the link list followed by the stack data structure and finally the C moving on to the intermediate data structures we'll dive into the heat based priority queue followed by a personal favorite of mine the union find and lastly binary trees and binary search trees and what they are both good for after this we will look at Advanced section which will go into great depth on the hash table and multiple collusion resolution techniques as well as a lesser data structure the Fenwick tree which boasts efficiency in range Sun queries those are all the data structures I have for you at the moment and I will keep adding more as time goes on but there's already a lot out there for you to learn thank you for watching and I hope you can join me in this easy to advance data structure series
