How to learn algorithms

Step one: read the introductory book

"Hello Algorithm" - animated illustrations, one-click data structure and algorithm tutorials

This book is designed to guide beginners to explore the knowledge map of data structures and algorithms, and master the prerequisite knowledge and tool library needed to answer questions.

Tip

It is recommended to read this book first (to gain a general and comprehensive understanding of data structures and algorithms) before starting to answer questions (to explore various algorithms and data structures in depth).

Step Two: Brush Algorithm Questions

The following LeetCode question sheets are recommended:

1. 88 questions selected from Krahets written interview: 88 high-frequency algorithm written test questions selected from "Sword Pointer Offer" and "Hot Questions 100", suitable for beginners to get started.
2. Illustrated Algorithm Data Structure (Interview-75): The questions are closer to practical applications and are more difficult than the "Sword Pointer Offer".
3. LeetCode Hot Questions 100: The 100 most popular questions from users.
4. 150 classic interview questions: 150 classic interview questions.
5. LeetCode-75: Selected 75 core interview questions.

Tip

The question categories of items 1. 2. correspond to the chapter content of "Hello Algorithm", and the problem solutions written by @krahets are provided, which are suitable as supporting exercises.

Some suggestions for beginners to study questions:

1. It is recommended to answer 2 to 3 questions every day. If you can complete it easily, you can try to increase the number to 5 to 8 questions.
2. The quality of the questions is more important than the quantity. Please make sure you truly understand the solution to each question and the algorithm principles behind it.
3. It is recommended that you do the questions in the order of the list of questions. If you feel that a question is difficult, you can skip it first and solve it later.
4. Questions usually have more than one solution. Please pay attention to compare and explore the characteristics and applicability of various methods.
5. If you find that you have forgotten the solution to a question, don't be discouraged; we usually need to review it more than three times before we can truly master a knowledge point.
6. Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety. Persistence is crucial, come on!
