How to MASTER Data Structures & Algorithms FAST in 2023

So when you think about coding jobs, you probably think of high salaries and awesome work culture.

But finally landed one, and realized that I hated the company and the salary was poo, I decided I needed a new job.

So I decided to hand in my notice and quit.

My notice period was 4 weeks, so I basically had to find a new job in that time.

But the problem was that because I had never properly mastered data structures & algorithms, I basically had no way of being able to pass the notoriously difficult coding interviews at companies like Google and Meta which are basically the only companies that pay well in Europe.

So I basically had to find a way to somehow master data structures and algorithms in just 2 AND be able to use them to pass coding interviews.

Here's how I did it...

Key points from this video:-
1)solving the questions conceptually
2) writing down the concepts into the code
3)fine to look at the solution but need to understand what was the actual logic behind it
4) after successful submission take away a general pattern

[techmentormaria]

For me, I just practiced A LOT and tried to repeat the concepts over and over again until I got it. But honestly, some of them I haven't ever used even after being a full time Software Engineer for over 10 years

I’m sorry but it’s hard to trust that this is a good source to learn DSA when they’re also paying you to say it.

Nothing new here guys. It's just a giant ad. Please skip.

Try to understand how Data Structure and Algorithms work, take a course, or read an article but mainly solve a bunch of challenges A LOT! Use platforms like LeetCode, Hackerrank, Exercism and others.

Thanks for this video. I'm currently practicing DSA for that job offer, which totally deprives the joy of coding compare with development. Your video adds some sweet to this dry process and I cannot deny that there're sensible reasons behind it.

[apostolosvarvatis]

I don't get how you do it, but your videos always align with my computer science journey, big up!

[judeochalifu]

90% of the solution is the individual. If you don't conquer yourself, your fears and manage all distractions in your daily life, no amount of planning and practice would work.

[CatPerson]

For me, I'm a visual person myself, so I might use this technique when I'm thinking about algorithms. I also might do it when codeine as well

[CHRISAT]

This is my goal for the next 2 months to master DSA thanks for this headstart

[Seharayay]

you have made me enthusiastic about coding. your the best mentor.

[GreekRestaurant]

Some of the best information available, you’re a great YouTuber! Good luck on your journey! Thanks for the help 😁

[hypermeero]

they are not theoretical concept, they are applied concepts, I am a software engineer and i use them daily, either as building desktop and backend apps.

[AkashVerma-ly]

Simple and Concise anatomy of "What and Why" before anyone starts learning DSA.

[jotela]

Hey man. Thanks a lot for this video. I have an Amazon SDE test soon. I don't feel confident at all about it. I saw this video. I watched it to the end. I will be looking at the next two videos you recommended on Data Structures and Algorithms respectively.

[OleksandrBorysenko]

Yep, Data Structures & Algorithms there are my points for growth in programming. Thanks for sharing !

The 5 strategies from the Author.
Solve the problem conceptually: The author tries to understand the problem without thinking about the code, using visual aids if necessary.
Apply the conceptual solution to code: The author attempts to write code that implements the solution he came up with in the previous step.
Look up the answer if stuck: The author does not hesitate to check the correct solution if he cannot solve the problem within 30 minutes.
Understand the solution: The author makes sure he knows how and why the solution works, and what are the key concepts involved.
Learn the pattern: The author tries to identify the general principle or technique that can be applied to similar problems in the future.

So, my take away from this, is you was a coder at your previos job, and you graduated to a programmer? Additionally, I would be more concerned if you could not pick it up fast, since you was already a software engineer. 😅
