Phase 20 · Data Structures & Algorithms
TopicsSorting & Searching
Part of the AI Engineer Roadmap.
Summary
The fundamental algorithms (merge sort, quicksort, binary search) that underpin countless other algorithms and interview questions.
How to Learn This
- 1Implement binary search from scratch and its common variants (leftmost/rightmost bound).
- 2Learn when each sorting algorithm's time/space trade-offs matter.
- 3Practice recognizing when a sorted array unlocks a binary search solution.
