6 Algorithms Every Developer Should Know
1. Sorting Algorithm
What exactly is sorting?- It is the algorithm that arranges the order of the items in a list.
Important Sorting Algorithms-
- Bubble Sort - Merge Sort - Quicksort - Heap Sort
2. Searching Algorithm
What exactly is searching?- It is the algorithm that finds an element in a data set.
Important Sorting Algorithms-
- Binary Search - Breadth-First Search(BFS) - Depth-First Search(DFS)
3. Dynamic Programming
Dynamic Programming (DP) is an algorithmic technique for solving an optimization problem by breaking it down into simpler sub-problems and taking advantage of the fact that the optimal solution to the overall problem is dependent on the optimal solution to its sub-problems.
4. Recursion Algorithm
Recursion is a problem-solving technique in which the solution is dependent on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem. Computing factorials is a classic example of recursive programming.
5. Divide and Conquer
A divide-and-conquer algorithm recursively divides a problem into two or more sub-problems of the same or related type, until they are simple enough to be solved directly.
6. Hashing
Hashing is a technique or process that uses a hash function to map keys and values into a hash table. It is done to allow for quicker access to elements. The efficiency of mapping is determined by the hash function’s efficiency.
