Develop new algorithms and solutions to problems by combining advanced algorithms creatively in Python
Key Features
- Focus on intuitive explanations and clean implementations
- No abstract math and no obfuscated code that offers little insight
- Discover how to put together multiple well-known concepts in order to come up with a solution to a problem that you haven't seen before
- Delve into efficient design and implementation techniques to meet your software requirements
- Enrich your knowledge of algorithms and data structures by learning concepts that you won't find as well-organized anywhere else
Book Description
As a developer, you'll have certainly heard about various data structures and algorithms. However, have you ever thought profoundly about them and their impact on the performance of your applications? If not, it's high time to take a look at this topic, and this course is a one-stop guide to master it!
This course will teach you the necessary theory and applications to properly understand the advanced algorithms and data structures that are critical to various problems and how to implement them. We'll also go hands-on and reveal tips and tricks for optimizations, identifying the right approaches and presenting convincing explanations. And, you will get it all in a modern, popular, and well-documented language: Python. Finally, you'll learn how to develop complex algorithms that are easy to understand, debug, and reusable in various applications.
By the end of the course, you'll know how to develop complex algorithms that are easy to understand, debug, and reusable in various applications.
What you will learn
- Improve your problem-solving skills by learning how to approach some out-of-the-box problems
