DSA Learning Journey

Overview

Welcome to my DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms) learning journey! This readme file serves as a guide to document my progress as I dive into the world of DSA using Python and C++. My ultimate goal is to enhance my skills and land a rewarding software developer job.

Purpose

The primary purpose of this repository is to track my progress and showcase the knowledge and projects I develop along the way. By focusing on both the basics and advanced concepts of DSA, I aim to build a strong foundation that will be valuable in technical interviews and real-world software development scenarios.

Technologies

I'll be primarily using Python and C++ for implementing and practicing DSA. These languages are widely used in the industry and are crucial for any software developer. Additionally, I believe mastering both will give me a well-rounded skill set.

Directory Structure

  • /DataStructure: This directory will contain both Python and C++ implementations of various data structures and algorithms.
  • /projects: As I progress, I plan to undertake small projects that apply DSA concepts. These will be stored in this directory.

Milestones

I'll set milestones to track my progress and achievements. Each milestone will represent a significant step forward in my DSA journey.

  1. Basic Data Structures Mastery: Understand and implement fundamental data structures such as arrays, linked lists, stacks, and queues in both Python and C++.

  2. Algorithm Proficiency: Develop a strong grasp of core algorithms like sorting, searching, and recursion.

  3. Advanced Data Structures Exploration: Dive into more complex data structures like trees, graphs, and hash tables, implementing them in both Python and C++.

  4. Problem Solving Practice: Regularly participate in coding challenges on platforms like LeetCode and HackerRank to strengthen problem-solving skills.

  5. Real-World Applications: Apply DSA concepts to real-world scenarios by working on small projects that solve practical problems.

  6. Interview Preparation: Specifically focus on DSA topics commonly asked in technical interviews. Mock interviews and whiteboard coding exercises will be crucial.
