About Course

Are you new to C++ or want to level up your algorithms skills?
Then this course will take you from comfortable C++ basics to confidently implementing, analyzing, and optimizing core data structures and algorithms used in real systems and interviews. We’ll cover modern C++ best practices (RAII, smart pointers, move semantics), the STL as a toolset, and how to build production-quality implementations of arrays, lists, trees, graphs, heaps, tries, segment trees, and more.

Knowing Data Structures & Algorithms in C++ will make your code faster, safer, and far more valuable.
Whether you want to ace interviews, build high-performance systems, or compete in programming contests, mastering DS&A in C++ gives you the foundation to solve hard problems and justify design choices with clear complexity trade-offs.

Knowing these skills will let you build anything from efficient backend services and search/indexing engines to real-time game systems and memory-sensitive tools. Companies hiring for systems, trading, embedded, or backend roles prize engineers who can both reason about algorithms and implement them cleanly in C++.

There is no limit to what you can build with this knowledge.
Good algorithms + efficient C++ can turn slow prototypes into production-grade systems. Once you can pick the right data structure and explain why, you’ll stand out in interviews and in real engineering teams.

Why take this course?

  • Because interview success is predictable: the right preparation + repeated practice = results.

  • Because performance-sensitive roles (systems, games, finance, embedded) expect idiomatic C++ plus DS&A fluency.

  • Because writing correct, tested, and benchmarked implementations separates hobbyists from professional engineers.

I will not bore you 🙂
This course is hands-on and practical. Lectures are short and focused — most learning happens in labs and assignments. Expect live problem walkthroughs, guided code reviews, and performance comparisons instead of endless theory slides.

My approach
Practice, implement, test, and measure. Every section ends with a lab: implement the structure, write unit tests, and benchmark against std:: equivalents. You’ll solve interview-style problems tied to the topic and complete one final project that integrates multiple data structures (examples: a mini search index, a pathfinding visualizer, or a streaming top-k aggregator). I’ll show you common pitfalls, memory and complexity trade-offs, and modern C++ idioms so your solutions are clean and maintainable.

Join if you want practical mastery — not just answers — but the ability to design, code, and defend efficient solutions in C++.

What Will You Learn?

  • Implement core data structures from scratch in modern C++ (arrays, linked lists, stacks/queues, heaps, BSTs, tries, graphs).
  • Write safe, idiomatic C++ using RAII, smart pointers, move semantics, and effective STL usage.
  • Analyze and compare time/space complexity (best/avg/worst) and justify design trade-offs.
  • Implement classic algorithms: sorting/searching, BFS/DFS, Dijkstra/Bellman-Ford, Kruskal/Prim, Quickselect, and DP patterns.
  • Optimize and benchmark implementations; profile for performance and reason about memory/cache behavior.
  • Design end-to-end solutions by composing appropriate data structures for real-world problems.
  • Test and validate code with unit tests, sanitizers, and thorough edge-case handling.
  • Prepare for technical interviews with problem patterns, timed practice, and clear complexity explanations.
