DSA: A Complete Roadmap Using Python

Common Questions

• 1.  Is DSA hard to learn?

  DSA is indeed a bit more challenging compared to learning the basics of a programming language. However, with practice and dedication, you can master the core concepts of DSA.

  Since designing data structures and algorithms consists of implementing programming logic, beginner coders won't have a hard time once they understand the theory behind the subject.

  In other words, the challenge is to understand the theory and concept behind a particular data structure or algorithm. Once that's done, you can simply implement them with beginner-level programming. Doesn't sound very hard now, does it?

• 2.  How long does it take to learn DSA?

  The duration depends on your learning pace and dedication. On average, it takes 3-6 months to learn DSA.

• 3.  What is the correct way to learn DSA?

  You can master DSA by following the guideline we've provided below:

  1. Select a Programming Language: Choose the programming language you're most comfortable with. If you don't know how to code, simply learn Python since it's easy.
  2. Learn Recursion: Recursion makes long and difficult programs easy to read and elegant to look at. This concept will be extremely useful while learning DSA.
  3. Learn Time Complexity: Understand how long your code will take to run and how much space it will occupy.
  4. Learn DSA: Finally, start learning DSA. Start with easy concepts like arrays and searching algorithms. Make sure you devote the majority of your time to practice; don't just read about a concept and move on to the next one. Don't hurry! Gradually move towards more complex topics and practice diligently.
