Basic Data Structures: Overview (Day before Coding Interview [DCI]: CODING INTERVIEW PATTERNS)

This book will help you revise all Data Structures in 2 hours and help visualize them.

Data Structures are one of the most fundamental concepts in Computer Science. It is the study of how we handle data or give a structure to it. Using the correct data structure in the correct algorithm and problem improves the overall performance significantly.

This book has covered:

• Over 30 data structures
• Images for each data structure to help you visualize the data structures [IMPORTANT]
• Basic ideas, advantages, disadvantages, and key thoughts for all data structures.
• Time and space complexity of basic operations for quick reference.

The book is a perfect fit as a starting point to get the complete idea of the entire domain and then, go into each data structure in depth or recreate the details by thinking.

This book is a good fit for you if you:

• Want to get an idea of different Data Structures without going into the details and implementations.
• have solved Algorithmic problems previously and need to revise the complete idea of Basic Data Structures quickly in a day for an upcoming Interview or just for stimulating your brain.

This book has covered over 30 basic data structures starting with Array and up to useful data structures like Trie and Union Find and data structures for specific applications like Graph Algorithms, Dynamic Programming and much more.

As you go through this book, you will form a good understanding of different data structures in contrast and will be able to answer tough research questions with original thought.
We have presented some insightful questions based on these basic Data Structures at the end. Let us get started with the most fundamental data structure in computing systems: Array.

Best of Luck for your Coding Interview.
