Description
This course is for those who are interested in computer science and want to implement the algorithms and given data structures in Python. In every chapter you will learn about the theory of a given data structure or algorithm and then you will implement them from scratch.
Chapter 1: Binary Indexed Trees (Fenwick Trees)
theory behind the binary indexed tree or Fenwick tree data structure
how to use this data structure in computer vision and artificial intelligence
implementation in Python
Chapter 2: LRU Caches
what are caches and why are they so important
how to use doubly linked lists to implement caches
theory behind LRU caches
implementation in Python
Chapter 3: Splay Trees
what are splay trees
how to achieve caches with splay trees
Chapter 4: B-Trees
external memory and internal memory (RAM)
data structures for the external memory
trees with multiple children and multiple keys
what are B-tree data structures?
Chapter 5: Prefix Trees (Tries)
what are tries or prefix trees
real world applications of tries
autocomplete feature of tries
sorting with tries

Chapter 6: Ternary Search Trees
what are ternary search trees
boggle game with tries
Chapter 7: Substring Search Algorithms
what are substring search algorithms and why are they important in real world softwares
brute-force substring search algorithm
hashing and Rabin-Karp method
Knuth-Morris-Pratt substring search algorithm
