📘 Data Structures & Algorithms Learning Path

for iOS Developers (Senior-Level)

✅ Completed DSA Examples

1. Remove Duplicates from Sorted Array (In-place)

Input: [1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 6, 6, 7]
Output: [1, 2, 3, 6, 7]
Time Complexity: O(n)
Space Complexity: O(1)
Approach: Two-pointer traversal, replacing values in-place.

2. Zigzag Level Order Traversal (Binary Tree)

Input: Tree with nodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8


Output: [1, 3, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 7]
Time Complexity: O(n)
Space Complexity: O(n)
Approach: BFS using queue with directional toggle on each level.

3. Sort Linked List with 0s, 1s, and 2s

Input: 0 → 1 → 0 → 2 → 1 → 0 → 2 → 1
Output: 0 → 0 → 0 → 1 → 1 → 1 → 2 → 2
Time Complexity: O(n)
Space Complexity: O(1)
Approach: Count frequency and rewrite node data.

🧠 Key Concepts Recap

🔹 Time Complexity

• Definition: Number of operations relative to input size n .


• Examples:
• O(1) → Constant
• O(n) → Linear
• O(n log n) → Merge sort
• O(n^2) → Nested loops

🔹 Space Complexity

• Definition: Amount of extra space used.


• Goal: Optimize for in-place when possible.
