Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures in Python

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

• 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

• IP routing

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
