Introduction to Algorithms and Data structures in C++ (Udemy.com)

Absolutely loved this course. I started this course as a beginner with no C++ background. After finishing this course, I have: 1. A basic idea of how to write C++ programs for interview-level coding challenges. 2. A thorough idea of implementing algorithms with reduced computational complexity. Absolutely loved how binary search programs (majority element, # occurrences) were explained. Additionally, the final lecture (Finding a sum) neatly ties up how to decide/ select/ analyze the correct algorithms to be used in coding challenges. Overall, I now feel that I have a new set of tools to tackle C++ coding challenges.

Yes it was a good match for me. It not only teached me algorithms complexity but it also helped me how to think when solving a problem. It teached me common approaches for solving problems, most importantly binary search. I was familiar with the scope of a variable and the Fibonacci sequence but I didn't know when to use them. Thank you very much for your efforts.

The course content enables one to get a good start in understanding Algorithms & Data Structures. Andrei's approach towards time complexity & explanation of topics throughout the course is appreciable. I'd recommend this course for beginners to get the knack of Algorithmic thinking. In my view, more content over various algorithms would have made this course complete.

A very nice introduction to the basics of algorithms, enough to get the learner started.I loved how Andrei connected the Fibonacci sequence with nature. Nature is Mathematical, whether one realizes it or not and it's inspiring to see it being connected to Programming which too is Mathematical. This course however does not cover more complex routines, like merge sort etc but I think the course only aimed to give a high level overview. Overall Andrei is a great instructor.

This is a great introductory guide to competitive programming and coding interviews. Andrei goes straight to the point and explains the concepts very clearly. For a free course, this is absolutely worth your time. It would be even better if there were more videos covering even more topics, as well as more exercises to solidify our understanding.

The subjects covered halfway through talk about problems and how to solve them with faster techniques while also looking at how to measure how fast it works. These problems do help to build good practice, but I would appreciate a conversation about more tricks C++ has and some habits to build while coding in C++.

Andrei is cool! He has done a very good job in explaining the subjects. The topics are very useful. Course illustrations are straight to the point and no extra wordings. I would recommend Andrei to find some better illustration tools to help him illustrate and explain. Sometimes it took a little while to figure the numbers or alphas in his hand-writing. But this is not a big deal! Way to go, Andrei!

it is a good match and i am obediently following whatever the mentor says.. like write this code on your own and i write it.. till now its good and topics were basic. I would like to see advanced topics coming up and making me uncomfortable because i want to train hard and best. Thank you for the amazing lectures.

Some basic examples provided of codes at first but then Andrei stops providing additional code examples and tells you to figure it out on your own. At least do 1 example for each problem or theory would be much better to understand how to do it. However Andrei is enthusiastic and easy to understand but needs to provide more details/examples and how to do so.

The course was really useful. I was able to conceptually understand the various algorithms, especially Gold trick. Knapsack problem's explanation was great, though it was difficult. But, I also feel that, there could've been more depth in the course. I sense that algorithms haven't been fully explored. Anyways, it was a good start to a beginner like me.
