Algorithms Bootcamp in C++

Recursion, backtracking, dynamic programming and data structures (linked lists, queues, stacks and binary search trees)

What you'll learn

what is recursion
what are backtracking and dynamic programming
what are the fundamental data structures: array, linked lists, stacks, queues and binary search trees

Requirements

C++ fundamentals

Description

This course is for those who are interested in computer science and want to implement the algorithms and given data structures in C++ from scratch. In every chapter you will learn about the theory of a given data structure or algorithm and then you will implement them from scratch.

Chapter 1: Recursion

theory behind recursion (recursive function calls)

recursion and stack memory of the OS

recursive problems: binary search and Towers of Hanoi problem

Chapter 2: Backtracking

what is backtracking

how to solve problems with backtracking

N-queens problem, coloring problem and knight's tour

Chapter 3: Dynamic Programming

overlapping subproblems and dynamic programming

what is "memoization"

Fibonacci numbers and knapsack problem

Chapter 4: Data Structures

data structures and abstract data types (ADTs)

arrays and linked lists

stacks

queues

binary search trees

priority queues (heaps)

associative arrays (maps)

Thanks for joining my course, let's get started!
