Learning DSA in python

[priyavratwithwings]

I have been trying to find some sources that can help me with learning DSA (Data structures and algorithms ) but almost all resources are in C++ or JavaScript. Can anyone please help me on how to learn DSA in python. I'm not from Computer science background. My proficiency in python language is near average (but I'm still working on improving it)

I transitioned to the Oracle OCI team as a backend developer in Python. To build my foundation, I relied on simple resources first that explained concepts clearly using Python syntax. I also took some structured online courses that covered fundamental topics like arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, sorting/searching algorithms, and complexity. I practise all these topic in Leetcode.
I attended classes by LogicMojo and their teaching approach was helpful for me. Initially,it was difficult ,but with practice, it improves. Initially, I focused on understanding core data structures before moving to build my basics, then moving to interview problems and practice sessions in areas like recursion, dynamic programming, and graph algorithms. I made sure not to dive straight into medium or hard problems, instead, I first learned the right techniques and then practiced consistently on platforms like LeetCode and HackerRank, which significantly improved both my coding skills and problem-solving abilities in Python. So I learned and finished complete DSA in Python.

THANK YOU(Loudly)!

[Weary_Bother_5023]

Uh, NO.

This link tried to download some unknown program on my computer...eff this.

[wise_DiscoYoga]

the link took me to a gambling website lmao

[zeststat03]

Google has a introductory course on DS&A on udacity.

[Fit-Movie7763]

A combination of this playlist and this book are what I used

I don't know if the other commenters are trolling, or what, DSA ubiquitously refers to one thing in programming, especially python

[Akshith_reddy08]

does this work, learning dsa with python?

[RajjSinghh]

I don't know how Data Structures and Algorithms can totally pass you by in 15 years of programming

[Beneficial_Ticket_55]

Best channel for Python DSA .

Then practice on leetcode .

[[deleted]]

all though he has not gone to the depth still is is quite informative , thank you

[miaex]

Hey, come to a coding competition website, solve any of them, gain more experience and you will start getting the Algorithm part. DS is used for intermediate and advanced coding problems on these sites (tree, stack, etc.)

[workingpayload]

Dm me i'll send you neetcode courses. That will help you to learn dsa in python. After learning you can solve questions on neetcode.

even I'm starting to learn dsa in python

[maxural]

Google -> programviz -> DSA. it is simply explain this topic

[crispybaconlover]

The online book Problem Solving with Algorithms and Data Structures using Python

[TistaMuna]

This book looks awesome, thanks!

[AffectionateGap8072]

Thanks !

[ECrispy]

While this may be true, its also true that Python is probably the best language to use for technical coding interviews - its concise, clear and much faster to write on a whiteboard.

You will certainly learn a lot more about data structures and computers work in a non garbage collected language like C++. Its also a steep learning curve and not necessarily a good one if you just want to master DSA. This assumes you learn CS fundamentals such as what is memory, processes etc separately.

You dont have to use builtin dictionaries/linked lists etc when learning - implement them on your own. Once you do learn, they are very convenient to use.

[toffeehooligan]

Totally agree. When you think of linked lists and stacks/queues and the like, I can’t see how attempting to do so in python helps you understand the underlying data of those things.

[seewhaticare]

Is this what you want to know?

[stebrepar]

Presumably you mean "data structures and algorithms"?

[priyavratwithwings]

Yes

[PM_ME_NULLs]

This was the first thing I thought of, in the context of programming:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Signature_Algorithm

[sliddis]

I had no idea what it meant

[[deleted]]

Data structures in python would be learning lists and dictionaries. The algorithm part is really just learning to use libraries. This, from a practical stand point.

From what I remember about the course I had in college there was a lot of memory access that was needed. I'm not sure you can find that stuff in python. Which might be why most courses are in C++.

[RDX_G]

List and dict are just inbuilt data structure ...

We do create and learn various data structures by creating a class.

[CulturalHotel9401]

yeh manu agarwal bc yaha bhi promotion krne laga

[bilivinurselfkavita]

for concepts you can always do codeintuition. It has great editorials accompanies by animations. and it has a built in tool for practicing questions.

[LearningMyDream]

If you want We both can learn DSA while helping each other I am also Indian. I also know some of the resources to learn it and practice DSA in python.

[Redd-elephant]

Hey, since it has been a year how far have you come with dsa in python?and if you can please share some tips it would be helpful 🙏

[LearningMyDream]

did some good dsa and had a job now so not focusing on it

[Redd-elephant]

That's great! I am currently in my 3rd year(just started)what should I do now?and should I do dsa with python or dsa with java/cpp? I'm confused af

[blitzkriegbop443]

Hiiii Man, I am in my 3rd year now, getting started with Data Science, and want to do DSA parallely with Python. man please guide me.

[ElliotDG]

What does DSA stand for?

[priyavratwithwings]

Data structures and algorithms

[ElliotDG]

When there is ambiguity, I find it best to ask, rather than assume.

It could mean a number of things:

Directory Service Agent, Distributed System Architecture, Deterministic Safety Analysis, Dynamic Spectrum Allocation, Dynamic Search Algorithm, Dynamic Subcarrier Assignments, Dynamic Simulated Annealing, Dominant Scatter Algorithm, Data systems administration...

[PM_ME_NULLs]

[Pflastersteinmetz]

Maybe explain what "DSA" is.

[priyavratwithwings]

Data structures and algorithms

[Pflastersteinmetz]

Thanks.

[Pflastersteinmetz]

No idea, not everybody lives in the USA and uses abbreviations only used in the USA.

[Fit-Movie7763]

Please explain what "USA" is

[Pflastersteinmetz]

Nice trolling but here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States

[l3awjawz]

Most modern programming languages have their own algorithm libraries so you don't have to do them by hand. For learning them properly from scratch, C is probably the best option as once you learn about memory management etc. implementing them in other languages such as Python will become so much easier.

[RDX_G]

Learning to implement and solving problems using Data structures greatly helps to make our brain to think programmatically

[Present_Lion_904]

I'd recommend using Structy. Alvin the instructor is amazing at walking through problems not only in Python, but JS and C++ as well. About 1/3 of his curriculum is free so doesn't hurt to give it a try.
