Anyone in the house currently focusing on Data Structures and Algorithms? Let's rub minds. I've noticed that when you talk about what you've learnt with other like-minded folks, it sticks better. You can PM me if interested. Thanks.

What do you mean Algorithms ?

What Algorithm in particular ?

I

oga fincoapps seriously

*smh* unfollowed

I suppose nobody's into algorithms here

What have you learnt so far?

No. We are here. Algorithm is a wide topic though. The only way to rub minds may be to exchange problems...probably on this board...

Algorithm is just a way or set of rules to follow in other to solve a complex problem.

Hit me up Op, let's tackle hackrank,topcoder,code forces etc together . just did some linked list variant in C

Of course it is. It also requires discipline and skill. Which is why I need company. Already started learning some data structures that will help me in the journey.

Where did you grab that definition from? Google or Wikipedia?

maybe because the word algorithms is new to you, am here, as stated earlier..

I am currently trying to focus on Algorithms and Datastructures. Started a course at Coursera on that. Try check it out too. It spans around 6 months

I am . Reading CLRS am not gonna lie it takes a while to stick because of the mathematical background needed especially the notation but am beginning to see the benefit. Worked on a project recently that was solved with the concept of a FIFO queue. It's really not easy try this visual data or something it shows the visualisation of the data structure. Anyone not taking algorithm serious will find it hard to scale interviews esp when asked about code efficency

There are two colleagues in my office that inspired me to look into this. These guys are crazy when they talk about code efficency

So can u write codes to transverse?
Or solve the tower of Hanoi
Or write the honeybee algorithm?

Just all there. But they ve been solved, so what's the point reinventing the wheel when its already spining?

When next is the course starting?

you can use mit open courseware for that, very educative, and you will learn as if your at MIT, it will give u a ground up exposure to Data structures.. it might take long, its their university lectures, so its very detailed and elaborate

When next is the course starting?

https://www.coursera.org/specializations/data-structures-algorithms

It starts on the 12th of December, 2016

It is a specialization course which spans over a period of 6 months. Each part takes 1 month to complete and that means it has 6 parts. Please do let me know if you would be joining the course so that we can try share some ideas

No I won't be joining now..probably @ d next time it starts...I have so much work on my hands for now..let's knw how it goes

I'm inspired, there was a time I was trying to focus on algorithms because someone introduced hackerrank to me and the challenges were to tough for me. I came across CLRS, I tried to understand that book but I just couldn't. I didn't know if I was doing mathematics or I was programming. It has a lot of proving and rather than the book solving my problem, it was compounding it. I had to leave the book.
I'll go back to the book hopefully it gets less scary this time.
