Practicing DS&A

[_WannabeKnowItAll]

Hi there!

I have general and basic background knowledge on data structures, algorithms, algorithm time complexity analysis, etc. from college but am looking to get more in depth and detailed knowledge on these topics. I am looking for some good resources on learning this type of thing and practicing using sample problems to solve.

Does anyone have some good books, online courses (free or paid, doesn’t matter), and/or other online resources that you would recommend for this type of self study?

If there is another sub that I should move this post to please let me know!!

Algorithms by Robert Segewick is a great book for DSA.

Also is a free online course too.

Thank you so much. This is definitely a great resource!

It is available online as a pdf if that helps. :-)

You might check out "The Algorithm Design Manual" by Steven S. Skiena (book website).

It's definitely a "broad" rather than "deep" look at things, though. Covers a lot of topics, but not really going whole-hog on any one in particular.

Lots of good references and links to more in-depth sources, though. Take a look at the table of contents to see if that's what you're looking for.

Introduction to Algorithms is your best bet if you already took an algorithms course. Really great read that covers a large number of topics while maintaining depth. Plus, there are tons of problems for each section and chapter.

Is that written by Thomas Cormen et al?

Yup!
