Module Data Structures
Learn a few basic data structures and how to measure their performance using measurement.
- Part III: Data StructuresYou're well on your way to building a personal process that gets you started quickly and with limited friction.
- Exercise 13: Single Linked ListsThe first data structure you will implement is the Single Linked List.
- Exercise 14: Double Linked ListsThe previous exercise may have taken you quite a while to complete since you have to figure out how to make a single linked list work.
- Exercise 15: Stacks and QueuesWhen working with data structures you'll oftentimes encounter a structure that is similar to another.
- Exercise 16: Bubble, Quick, and Merge SortYou are now going to attempt to implement sorting algorithms for your
DoubleLinkedListdata structure. - Exercise 17: DictionaryYou should be familiar with Python's
dictclass already. - Exercise 18: Measuring PerformanceIn this exercise you're going to learn to use several tools to analyze the performance of the data structures and algorithms you've created.
- Exercise 19: Improving PerformanceThis is a mostly video exercise where I will demonstrate improving the performance of the code you've written so far, but first you should attempt it.
- Exercise 20: Binary Search TreesIn this exercise I'm going to teach you to translate an English description of a data structure into working code.
- Exercise 21: Binary SearchThe Binary Search algorithm is a simple way to find an item in an already sorted list of items.
- Exercise 22: Suffix ArraysI'd like to tell you a story about suffix arrays.
- Exercise 23: Ternary Search TreesThe final data structure we'll investigate is called a Ternary Search Tree (
TSTree), and it's useful for quickly finding a string in a set of strings. - Exercise 24: Fast URL SearchWe will end the section on data structures and algorithms with a performance measurement challenge that applies your data structures to an actual problem.
