The Substitution Method for Solving Recurrences | Brilliant Math & Science WikiThe substitution method for solving recurrences is famously described using two steps: Guess the form of the solution. Use induction to show that the guess is valid. This method is especially powerful when we encounter recurrences that are non-trivial and unreadable via the master theorem. We can use the substitution method to establish both upper and lower bounds on recurrences. The name comes from the substitution of the guessed answer for the function when …

Sorting algorithms

Sorting Algorithms | Brilliant Math & Science WikiA sorting algorithm is an algorithm made up of a series of instructions that takes an array as input, performs specified operations on the array, sometimes called a list, and outputs a sorted array. Sorting algorithms are often taught early in computer science classes as they provide a straightforward way to introduce other key computer science topics like Big-O notation, divide-and-conquer methods, and data structures such as binary trees, and heaps. There …

Non Comparison based Sorting AlgorithmsWe have explored various non-comparison sorting algorithms like Counting Sort, Radix Sort, Postman Sort and others along with their advantages / disadvantages.

Sorting Algorithms — With PythonThis blog compares the sorting algorithms and their performance through one of Leetcode question.

Linked Lists

Using the Linked List Data Structure in PythonThe linked list data structure is a linear data structure that is used to implement other data structures.

Introduction to Linked Lists – Techie DelightA linked list is a linear data structure consisting of a group of nodes where each node point to the next node through a pointer. Each node is composed of data and a reference (in other words, a link) to the next node in the sequence.

Depth-first search - Wikipedia Republished // WIKI 2Depth-first search (DFS) is an algorithm for traversing or searching tree or graph data structures. The algorithm starts at the root node (selecting some arbitrary node as the root node in the case of a graph) and explores as far as possible along each branch before backtracking.
