Data structures and algorithms are not most people's favourite coding concepts to learn. nevertheless, if you want to learn how to pass coding interviews, mastering data structures and algorithms is a must. From linked lists to priority queues to graphs...when I was a beginner, I could not understand why these things are even important. What do data structures even mean and why do big tech companies ask these stupid leetcode-style questions in coding interviews? But once I actually sat down and over a few months learned the theory and practice of data structures, I started to appreciate just how beautiful computer science can be. In this video, I explain data structures for dummies and (hopefully) in a future video, I will explain algorithms in a similar way!
