LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Apply brute force, greedy, divide-and-conquer, and dynamic programming to interview-style problems in Python
Analyze time complexity using asymptotic analysis and Big O on loops and nested-loop variants
Compare algorithm approaches to select an optimal solution and justify the complexity tradeoffs
Implement core sorting and searching algorithms (selection, bubble, insertion, merge, quick, binary search)
Solve array and string challenges such as two-sum, group anagrams, rotated search, and Dutch national flag
Implement graph algorithms in Python including BFS, DFS, cycle detection, components, and path finding

ABOUT THIS COURSE

With algorithms being one of the most common themes in coding interviews, having a firm grip on them can be the difference between being hired and not. After completing this comprehensive course, you'll have an in-depth understanding of different algorithm types in Python and be equipped with a simple process for approaching complexity analysis. As you progress, you’ll be exposed to the most important algorithms you'll likely encounter in an interview. You'll work your way through over 50 interactive coding challenges and review detailed solutions for each problem. You’ll walk away with the ability to build-up to the optimal solution for addressing those tough coding interview questions head-on.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
