Fundamentals Of Data Structures
This is a full-length course from treehouse. Free code camp is a non-profit making this
course freely available on our youtube channel. We will learn these concepts by using well-
known algorithms in this course we will also be writing code. This course is less about
specific algorithms and more about the tools you will need to evaluate algorithms. An
algorithm is a set of steps or instructions for completing a task. The field of computer
science has identified several that do the job well for a given task. Understanding algorithms
is not just knowing that an algorithm exists but understanding when to apply it requires
properly understanding the problem at hand. Learning about algorithms gives you a deeper
understanding about complexity and efficiency in programming. The course will focus on
some of the tools and concepts you'll need to be aware of before we can dive into the topic
of algorithms if you're ready we 're going to try and cultivate together as we work through our
content.
John and britney took the same amount of turns to find the answer to the number they were
looking for. When the answer was three they both took the same number of turns this is
important when the number was larger but not much larger 10 in this case we start to see
that britney strategy did better she took four tries while john took 10. John and brittany took
turns to find the answer when the number was 5. When the answer was 100 it took him 20
times the amount of tries to get that answer compared to britney. The speed at which the
result was obtained differed between john and brittany and britney in the game. The two
strategies britney and john used were examples of search more specifically these are search
algorithms. The strategy john took where he started at the beginning of the range and just
counted one number after the other is a type of search called linear search. linear search is a
search algorithm and we can use it in the real world for example i could tell you to walk into
a bookstore and find me a particular book using the linear search algorithm.
An algorithm definition must contain a specific set of instructions in a particular order. Each
step must not be a complex one and needs to be explicitly clear. The last guideline is that
the algorithm should actually complete and can not take an infinite amount of time. When
using a search algorithm the end result can actually be nothing which indicates that the
value was n't found. The guidelines help us define what an algorithm is but also helps us
