Course Introduction:

“Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships say many a great coding geeks”. Data structures deal with organizing data in a synchronized manner, such that maximum efficiency can be achieved. One of the most interesting and vital concepts in this domain is undoubtedly the algorithms of data structures.

Course Overview:

This course covers the following:

An introduction about every new concept is followed by an in-depth analysis of its scopes of application.
Apart from video lectures which serve to be the heart of the curriculum, the course also includes an assignment problem which can enable self-analysis.
These assignments are solved towards the end of the course, which make this course a perfect option for beginners.

Pre-requisites and Target Audience:

There is absolutely no pre-requisite for you to take up this course. But, having some basic knowledge in programming can make the implementation of the concepts very easy for you.
