Learn DSA by Doing
Universal Fact: You can't learn to code without actively writing code yourself.
So, how do I start?
Why Learn DSA?
Knowing a programming language is just the first step on your programming journey. To stand out as a programmer, knowledge of Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) is essential. DSA helps you understand, analyze and optimize your code.
Imagine you need to travel from New York to California; you can reach California by car, bus, train, or flight.
Flying is the fastest way to get to California, but it is also the most expensive.
So, just as flying suits those who prioritize speed while trains cater to budget-conscious travelers, programming offers various approaches to solving a single problem.
By understanding DSA, you acquire the expertise to select the most suitable solution for your program.
Additionally, you develop the ability to evaluate your algorithms' computational speed and memory consumption.
These proficiencies are the cornerstones of proficient coding, which is why most software engineering interviews test your knowledge of DSA. So, a good understanding of DSA will make you a better programmer and increase your chances of landing your dream programming job.
Common Questions
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Learn Time Complexity: Understand how long your code will take to run and how much space it will occupy.
- 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.
