As we all know, Data Structures and Algorithms is a common topic which every Computer Science student must master in order to get a good-paid job in top tech companies. So today I would be giving you the Top Resources to Master Data Structures and Algorithms. I will tell you the best books and online courses with which you can crack any Tech interview.
Now , some people like reading books while some don't thus I will be providing you both Books as well as Online courses, but one must have a book on algorithms and data structures because for concept building.
Top 3 Books on Algorithms
1. Introduction to Algorithms by Thomas H. Corman
Introduction to Algorithms is one of the most popular books and every computer science student must have it. In this book you will be taught all concepts of algorithms but one cannot finish this book in one sitting and some might find it difficult to read as well . This book require hard work to finish it but at the end you will be able to solve any kind of algorithm or create your own algorithm.
2. Introduction to Algorithms
This is another good book on algorithms. You will get complete course of algorithms with theory, practicals, and problems. One must have a decent level of maths and must be a little bit familier with
data structures. A beginner will need to give time to this book other wise he/she might find it a bit confusing. So consistency and dedication is required for this book.
3. Mastering Algorithms with C
Mastering Algorithms with C covers all concepts of Algorithms and Advance C. This book for not those student who are not familier with C or C++. This book has 550+ pages and can be understood easily by a beginner. The only drawback of this book is that the author has not explained major concepts behind common algorithms or the fundamentals of algorithm development.
Top 3 Books for Data Structures
1. Data Structures and Algorithms made Easy by Narsimha Karumanchi
This book is one of the best sellers all around the world. This book explains core concepts and types of data structures in a very easy and understandable language with source code in C/C++. If you don't know C/C++ then don't worry because there is another book called "Data Structures an Algorithms made Easy in Java" for you. This books covers all topics of data structures with multiple approaches to solve a particular problem .
2. Data Structures and Algorithms in C++ by Mark Weiss
This book covers core concepts of data structures and algorithms in a very efficient manner using C++ language. This book covers topics from Binary heaps to NP- completeness. In-depth analysis is made of each topic in this book. But a reader must be familier with C++ before opting for this book.
3. Advance Data Structures by Peter Brass
This book covers all types of Data Structures and different approaches to solve problems. But it is meant for advance readers and Data Science practitioners as it deals with complexity if data storage within data analysis. This book is for those who have an interest in ML, AI, Data Science and for those who have a good grasp on basic Data Structures .
Online Resources to Master DS and Algo
Below you will find some website links from where you can learn data structures and algorithms. You will have to choose among the paid courses and free courses. The teaching quality in paid courses is same as free courses but in paid courses you will get a certificate from the institute from which you were studying the course.
