Tips to boost your learning

By far we have discussed in-depth the 5 crucial steps to learning DSA from scratch. During the complete journey on the roadmap to learn DSA, here are some tips which will surely help you:

Learn the Fundamentals of chosen Programming Language thoroughly 

Implement each small concept that you are learning. Make sure to learn the following concepts:

• Basic Syntax
• Data Types
• Operators, Variables, functions
• Conditional Statement, loops
• OOP(Object-Oriented Programming)

Get a good grasp of the Complexity Analysis

Understand how the complexity is calculated, and try to solve multiple questions to find the complexities of programs. You can also try out our quiz on Analysis of Algorithms for better practice.

Focus on Logic Building

The best way to do this is to solve as many problems as you can from scratch, without looking into solutions or editorials. The more you solve, the more strong your logic building will be.

Stuck on a problem/topic? Don’t worry, you are not alone

It is a brainer that you can solve all the problems all by yourself. 

There will be problems, hours, and even days when you will be stuck and won’t be able to find any solution. 

Don’t worry, it happens with everyone. If stuck on any problem try to read hints and approaches for solutions. If still unable then see the logic only and code it on your own. If getting stuck on similar types of problems you should probably revise the concept before trying to solve similar types of problems again.

Be consistent

Every monument is built brick by brick by working daily, consistently, and so is the case for DSA. You must try to learn at least 1 new topic every day and solve at least 1 new problem related to it every day. Making this a practice for each day every day will help you master DSA in the best possible manner.

Make sure to give coding challenges at regular intervals as well. You might face challenges in solving even 1 problem in the beginning, but in the end, it will be all worth it. You can try w3wiki POTD to solve one problem based on DSA every day and here you can also use the discussion forums to help you make sure you get the logic properly.

Today’s world is highly reliable on data and their appropriate management through widely used apps and software. The backbone for appropriate management of data is Data Structure and Algorithms (for convenience here we will use the term DSA). It is a dream for many to achieve expertise in handling and creating these apps and software. With this target in mind, they set out on the journey of learning DSA. The very first step in the journey is the creation of a complete roadmap to learn data structure and algorithms. 

Here in this article, we will try to make that task easy for you. We will be providing here with a complete roadmap for learning data structure and algorithms for anyone keen to learn DSA, from scratch.
