Course Outline

1

Arrays & Strings

4 lessons

Learn the fundamentals of sequential data storage, master Python lists and strings, and discover the sliding window and two-pointer patterns that appear in dozens of interview problems.

Arrays & Lists Fundamentals
Strings as Arrays
Two Pointers & Sliding Window
Module Checkpoint: Arrays & Strings
2

Hash Maps & Sets

4 lessons

Master O(1) lookup with Python dictionaries and sets. Learn the counting pattern, the complement pattern, and how sets eliminate duplicates instantly.

Dictionaries Deep Dive
Sets: Fast Membership Testing
The Complement Pattern
Module Checkpoint: Hash Maps & Sets
3

Linked Lists

4 lessons

Understand how linked lists work, why they exist alongside arrays, and master the fast/slow pointer technique that solves cycle detection, middle-finding, and more.

Singly Linked Lists
Reversing a Linked List
Fast & Slow Pointers
Module Checkpoint: Linked Lists
4

Stacks & Queues

4 lessons

Master LIFO and FIFO data structures, learn the monotonic stack pattern for next-greater-element problems, and use queues for BFS — the foundation of graph traversal.

Stacks: Last In, First Out
Queues: First In, First Out
Monotonic Stack
Module Checkpoint: Stacks & Queues
5

Trees & Graphs

4 lessons

Understand binary trees, master DFS and BFS traversals, and learn how graphs generalize trees. These structures power databases, file systems, social networks, and navigation systems.

Binary Trees Fundamentals
BFS & Level-Order Traversal
Graph Basics & BFS/DFS
Module Checkpoint: Trees & Graphs
6

Capstone: Putting It Together

4 lessons

Combine everything you've learned across arrays, hash maps, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs. Solve multi-pattern problems and build a mini-project that ties it all together.
