YouTube Video Review: Top 7 data structures in interviews simply explained
I am always looking for ways to improve my data science and coding skills, and one great resource that I frequently use is YouTube. I watch a lot of YouTube videos both for professional reasons and pleasure.
One YouTube video that I came across, entitled ‘Top 7 data structures in interviews simply explained’, is worthy of mention.
I thought the video lived up to its title, as the data structures were simply explained. Where the video fell short, however, was the fact that it did not include code to back up the explanations. It is for that reason that I will endeavour to include code in Python when I discuss the data structures.
It is important to know data structures because they will be covered in:-
- Computer science interviews,
- Computer science classes, and
- Building projects.
