What this book is about
This book is about usage of data structures and algorithms in computer programming. Data structures are the ways in which data is arranged in computers memory. Algorithms are set of instructions to solve some problem by manipulating these data structures.

Designing an efficient algorithm to solve a computer science problem is a skill of Computer programmer. This is the skill which tech companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook and many others are looking for in an interview. Once we are comfortable with a programming language, the next step is to learn how to write efficient algorithms.

This book assumes that you are a Python language developer. You are not an expert in Python language, but you are well familiar with concepts of class, references, functions, list, tuple, dictionary and recursion. At the start of this book, we will be revising the Python language fundamentals that will be used throughout this book. We will be looking into some of the problems in Lists and recursion too.

Then in the coming chapter we will be looking into Complexity Analysis. Followed by the various data structures and their algorithms. Will look into a Linked-List, Stack, Queue, Trees, Heap, Hash-Table and Graphs. We will also be looking into Sorting, Searching techniques.

And we will be looking into algorithm analysis of various algorithm techniques, we will be looking into Brute-Force algorithms, Greedy algorithms, Divide and Conquer algorithms, Dynamic Programming, Reduction and Back-Tracking.

In the end, we will be looking into System Design that will give a systematic approach to solve the design problems.
