This book introduces you to the world of data structures and algorithms. Data structures defines the way in which data is arranged in memory for fast and efficient access while algorithms are a set of instruction to solve problems by manipulating these data structures.

Designing an efficient algorithm is a very important skill that all software companies, e.g. Microsoft, Google, Facebook etc. pursues. Most of the interviews for these companies are focused on knowledge of data-structures and algorithms. They look for how candidates use concepts of data structures and algorithms to solve complex problems efficiently. Apart from knowing, a programming language you also need to have good command of these key computer fundamentals to not only qualify the interview but also excel in you jobs as a software engineer.

You should have a working knowledge of Kotlin programming language. You are not an expert in the Kotlin language, but you are well familiar with concepts of classes, functions, references, and recursion. If you’re planning to pursue a career in the Kotlin language, get better at it and apply for a job, this book is best for you. If you can put a reasonable amount of time into this book by reading various concepts and solving the various problems on data structures, you can become an expert in data structures and algorithms.

An Algorithm is a finite set of unambiguous steps or instructions to solve a given problem. Knowledge of algorithms helps us to get desired results faster by applying the appropriate algorithm. We learn by experience. With experience, it becomes easy to solve new problems. By looking into various problem-solving algorithms or techniques, we begin to develop a pattern that will help us in solving similar problems.

You can download the code of solved examples in the book from the author's GitHub repositories at https://GitHub.com/Hemant-Jain-Author/. Hear the author had solved examples in various programming languages like C, C++, C#, Java, Python, jаvascript, Swift, GoLang, Ruby, etc.
