Why Data Structures and Algorithms?

Data Structures are typically used to organize, process, retrieve and store data on computers for efficient use. Having the right understanding and using the right data structures helps software engineers write the right code.
There are two types of Data structures -
  • Linear Data structure: If the elements of a data structure result in a sequence or a linear list then it is called a Linear data structure. Every data element is connected to its next and sometimes previous element in a sequential manner. Example - Arrays, Linked Lists, Stacks, Queues, etc.
  • Non-linear Data structure: If the elements of a Data structure result in a way that the traversal of nodes is not done in a sequential manner, then it is a Non-linear data structure. Its elements are not sequentially connected, and every element can attach to another element in multiple ways. Example - Hierarchical data structure like trees.
  • Data structures are a key component of Computer Science and help in understanding the nature of a given problem at a deeper level. They're widely utilized in Artificial Intelligence, operating systems, graphics, and other fields. If the programmer is unfamiliar with data structure and Algorithm, they may be unable to write efficient data-handling code.
  • A strong grasp of this is of paramount significance if you want to learn how to organize and assemble data and solve real-life problems
  • Almost all product-based companies look at how strong you are at data structures, so it will also help you in your day-to-day work
  • Knowing when to apply the proper data structures is an important step to write efficient code by managing data properly
  • Key highlights of the Scaler Academy's program

    Our program is designed to help you become an expert in Data structures and Algorithms and ace product interviews to scale up in your tech career.

    I am elated to share that I have joined Townscript as a Software Engineer. All thanks to Scaler Academy for providing me with the guidance, skills, and knowledge I needed. When it comes to preparing for Product companies, there is a vast ocean of resources where one can easily get lost. But the curriculum at Scaler is well-framed and industry-vetted that I was able to learn all that is expected of a Software Engineer. Not only did I learn DSA, but also brushed my core skills which will remain with me for the rest of my life. I would like to thank the team for creating Scaler Academy, the best of its kind. Special thanks to my mentor for guiding me & sharing his valuable experiences that helped me learn better. Not to forget the amazing peers who have been a constant motivation in this journey. Lastly, thanks to the recruiter team who helped me find this amazing opportunity.
    I am extremely delighted to share that I will be joining Ola as a Software Development Engineer soon. Being a tier-3 college graduate, this journey to one of the top companies of India was not at all easy. I faced almost all kinds of emotions during my job hunt, but I'm overjoyed and humbled by the milestone I've achieved. For that, I would like to give special thanks to Scaler Academy for helping me in this journey. A big thanks to all the amazing instructors that made the complex topics so easy to grasp.

    I am happy to share that I have joined ThoughtWorks as an Application Developer. After experiencing a couple of failed & awkward interviews, I realized I needed to work on my skills in order to crack them. From building the foundations of DSA to simplifying the concepts of System Design, the program delivered EXACTLY what it said. Even the teachers and TAs tackled each problem in an easy and well-defined structure. The curriculum here is well thought out which added discipline to my routine. It was only after I joined Scaler Academy I received offers from multiple companies, that honestly felt unreal. Thanks to Scaler for creating this platform and a big shoutout to my mentors who not only guided me but also made a proper roadmap for me to be able to achieve success in interviews. I would also like to thank the recruitment team for their help and support.
    I am excited to share that I have received offers from Amazon, Myntra, D.E. Shaw (QTE). I would like to thank Scaler Academy for upskilling my knowledge about DSA & System Design. I am grateful to the founders of Scaler Academy for creating such a wonderful learning platform. I feel blessed to have the finest instructors & mentors. I am extremely glad to have gotten constant support from my mentor who has helped me through the interview process, thank you Scaler for introducing me to a big brother. Lastly, would like to thank the recruitment team for bringing in so many interview opportunities.
    I am extremely thrilled that I will be joining Lendingkart as a Software Engineer. Grateful to Scaler Academy for helping me improve my problem-solving skills and making me understand DSA in a simpler way. Trees, Graphs related problems have always been a nightmare for me. Never imagined solving such problems with ease, thus, would like to thank the Scaler team for their tremendous support. Much thanks to the recruitment team who helped me through the recruitment related process. Thank you everyone from Scaler for all the support and guidance.
    I am pleased to share that I have joined WorkSpan as a Software Engineer. For this, I would like to thank Scaler Academy for teaching me how to think rather than only showing me the ways to solve a problem. Thanks to the Scaler team for teaching how large-scale systems are built. Other than that, thanks to all the instructors for teaching structures & algorithms, backend development and for teaching me recursion, concurrency, and Redis. This program has also made me strong in computer fundamentals (CN, DBMS & OS). Lastly, I would like to thank the recruiter team for arranging interviews with the companies.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    As a software engineer/programmer, one should understand the core concepts of data handling. Understanding data structures and algorithms will benefit candidates in coding interviews, as they will be able to write efficient code to handle the data presented by the interviewer/interviewers. They can write code in any programming language with minimal effort
    Product companies worldwide screen applicants based on their grasp of data structures and algorithms. Aside from getting through to product-based companies, the application of data structures and algorithms in the tech world is huge. DSA has been the core of computer programming from the beginning and has been the building block of the software development process, it is incorporated into all of the important languages. The efficiency of software development depends on the choice of an appropriate data structure and algorithm
    There are a number of coding languages with data structures. Among them, C++ and Java stand out for their ease in using DSA. Python, Javascript are some other notable languages to learn data structures
    The key to mastering DSA is to practice as many problems as possible and do so consistently. We provide a pool of problems focused on data structures and algorithms to help you practice as much as you want, stay consistent, and track your progress. Establishing a solid foundation is crucial so staying patient and continuing the pace of learning will eventually pay off
