Understand the principles of efficient algorithms for dealing with large scale data sets and be able to select appropriate algorithms for specific problems. Understand and be able to apply the main ...

Building fast and highly performant data science applications requires an intimate knowledge of how data can be organized in a computer and how to efficiently perform operations such as sorting, ...

A language that's data-intensive naturally should have a way to dig into the data effectively. Here's a look at some of the R functions for searching and sorting through it all. Searching and sorting ...

How to recognize and use array and list data structures in your Java programs. Which algorithms work best with different types of array and list data structures. Why some algorithms will work better ...

When you’re trying to learn how an algorithm works, it’s not always easy to visualize what’s going on. Well, except for maybe binary sort, thanks to the phone book. Professor [thatguyer] is a computer ...

Java programmers use data structures to store and organize data, and we use algorithms to manipulate the data in those structures. The more you understand about data structures and algorithms, and how ...

Have you ever thrown around the word algorithm without knowing what it means? When people complain about the Facebook algorithm, the Netflix algorithm, or the Google search algorithm, they don’t ...

We’re suckers for the kind of “life hacks” that tell you that you’ve been doing some relatively mundane task all wrong, and that there’s a super-easy alternative which can massively speed up your ...
