What you'll learn

Skills you'll gain

Specialization - 3 course series

Learners will put their data structures and algorithms knowledge to use by building some practical projects. They will create a Wordle solver that uses searching algorithms to help narrow down the list of possible answers. Another project is a reservation system that handles guest information and seating logic. Projects include instructions to upload them to your GitHub portfolio.

This course is designed for learners familiar with C++ basics and object-oriented programming. It provides a solid foundation of not just C++, but core data structures and algorithms topics that can be transferred to other languages. The modules in this course cover non-linear data structures like heaps, hash tables (and maps), graphs, and sets. To allow for a truly hands-on, self-paced learning experience, this course is video-free. Assignments contain short explanations with images and runnable code examples with suggested edits to explore code examples further, building a deeper understanding by doing. You'll benefit from instant feedback from a variety of assessment items along the way, gently progressing from quick understanding checks (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and un-scrambling code blocks) to small, approachable coding exercises that take minutes instead of hours.
