Data Structures & Algorithms Basics

Part of the Data Science Roadmap

In short

Lighter-weight than a pure software engineering interview, but basic comfort with arrays, hashmaps, and time complexity is often still expected, especially at larger tech companies.

How to learn this

  1. 1Review basic data structures (arrays, hashmaps, sets) and their typical time complexities.
  2. 2Practice a handful of easy-to-medium coding problems on a standard practice platform.
  3. 3Learn to state a solution's time complexity out loud as part of your answer.
