Frequently Asked Questions

Why are data structures and algorithms important?

DSA forms the foundation of efficient programming. Understanding them helps you write faster, more memory-efficient code, and they are heavily tested in technical interviews at most tech companies.

What is Big-O notation?

Big-O notation describes how the runtime or space requirements of an algorithm grow as the input size increases. O(1) is constant time, O(n) is linear, O(log n) is logarithmic, and O(n²) is quadratic.

Which sorting algorithm should I learn first?

Start with simple algorithms like bubble sort to understand the concept, then learn efficient ones like merge sort and quick sort. Understanding their trade-offs (time vs space, stability) is more important than memorizing code.
