About This Video

  • Data Structures and Algorithms are best learnt visually - high-quality courses available at super low prices

In Detail

This is an animated, visual and spatial way to learn data structures and algorithms. Our brains process different types of information differently - evolutionary we are wired to absorb information best when it is visual and spatial i.e. when we can close our eyes and see it. More than most other concepts, Data Structures and Algorithms are best learnt visually. These are incredibly easy to learn visually, very hard to understand most other ways. This course has been put together by a team with tons of everyday experience in thinking about these concepts and using them at work at Google, Microsoft and Flipkart What's Covered: Big-O notation and complexity, Stacks, Queues, Trees, Heaps, Graphs and Graph Algorithms, Linked lists, Sorting, Searching.
