Overview

This specialization is intended for people with an intermediate understanding of C++. These topics include basic syntax, control structures, loops, methods, and object-oriented programming. The skills in this specialization will help you learn about the underlying computer science concepts, algorithms, and structures that every software programmer should know. In these three courses, you will cover everything from learning how to design and analyze algorithms and how to implement and modify linear and non-linear data structures. Topics include lists, trees, heaps, hash tables, graphs, and sets.

Code and run your first C++ program about algorithms in minutes without installing anything! This course is designed for learners familiar with C++ basics and object-oriented programming. It provides a solid foundation of not just C++, but core data structures and algorithms topics that can be transferred to other languages. The modules in this course cover an introduction to data structures and algorithms, measuring complexity (space and time), algorithm design techniques, and some commonly used algorithms for searching and sorting. To allow for a truly hands-on, self-paced learning experience, this course is video-free. Assignments contain short explanations with images and runnable code examples with suggested edits to explore code examples further, building a deeper understanding by doing. You'll benefit from instant feedback from a variety of assessment items along the way, gently progressing from quick understanding checks (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and un-scrambling code blocks) to small, approachable coding exercises that take minutes instead of hours.

This course is designed for learners familiar with C++ basics and object-oriented programming. It provides a solid foundation of not just C++, but core data structures and algorithms topics that can be transferred to other languages. The modules in this course cover linear data structures like lists (singly linked, doubly linked, circular), stacks, queues, and introduces the first non-linear data structure trees.
