How to Solve Problems with Data Structures and Algorithms (Think Like a Programmer)

Learning to solve problems with data structures and algorithms can be hard! While the questions can be tricky, there are things you can do to make solving these problems a little easier. Join me today as I talk about the steps I take to break down and solve problems using data structures and algorithms! In turn, these steps have helped me to improve how I tackle problems by thinking like a programmer.

⌛ In this video, we'll discuss:
00:00 Welcome!

[ ABOUT ME ]
Hey, Friend! I'm Bree and welcome to my small corner of the web. I am happy to welcome you to my channel where I chat about my job as a software engineer, provide tips on breaking into the tech industry, and encourage new developers. My primary focuses are to promote diversity and representation in the tech industry and to support new coders, developers, and engineers as they embark on their journey into or around tech. There is a space for everyone in this industry and I hope discussing my experiences will aid anyone seeking a job in tech. I look forward to taking this journey together!

Such useful information! Definitely wish I had heard someone say these things when I was first learning to code!!

Solving DS and Algorithms problems is a great way for how you can think about problems in real life as developer or engineer. Recently doing problems myself, I found there are recurring techniques that can optimize your solution/algorithm.

Let me echo what a lot of people have told you in the past and just say a big thank you and you’re an inspiration. God bless

Great breakdown! I feel like this is the information they usually neglect to tell you in class, so it's great to have someone actually walk me through it <3

[ops]

Your energy is very positive!Thank you for your video!

[antojoseph]

You should make this into a series! super helpful!

Random thought- your bubbly personality and voice reminds me so much of Beanie Feldstein ❤️

Commenting on code helped me a lot on my classes that I took on programming! It helped reinforced what I learned in class, although at this point I forgot most of what I learned, haha!

Thanks girl I haven’t gotten jobs because my lack of knowledge during technical interviews…I get stuck and submit nothing.

This was helpful. I am no where near learning algorithms yet but I was able to follow you during your walkthrough and explanations. Do you know how often a front end developer or UX developer would face having to solve these types of problems?

First of all, you look absolutely beautiful Bree!
Thank you very much for this video, it was most definitely helpful. I wish they taught this in school.
