DSA Roadmap in Python for CSE (Data Science) Students
Stage 1: Basics of Python
- Variables, Data Types
- Loops & Conditionals
- Functions & Recursion
- Lists, Tuples, Dictionaries, Sets
- Input/Output & String manipulation
Resources: W3Schools, Programiz, GeeksforGeeks Python Basics
Stage 2: Fundamental DSA Topics
- Arrays & Lists - Traversal, Insertion, Deletion, Two-pointer techniques
- Strings - Substrings, Palindromes, Anagrams, Sliding Window
- Stacks & Queues - LIFO, FIFO, Balanced Parentheses, Next Greater Element
- HashMaps - Frequency Count, Hashing, Two Sum, Group Anagrams
Platforms: LeetCode, GeeksforGeeks
Stage 3: Intermediate DSA
- Recursion & Backtracking - Subsets, Permutations, Sudoku Solver
- Linked Lists - Singly, Doubly, Reverse, Detect Loops
- Trees - DFS, BFS, Traversals, Height, Diameter
- Binary Search - Lower/Upper Bound, Peak Element
Platforms: NeetCode (YouTube), LeetCode, GfG
Stage 4: Advanced DSA
- Graphs - BFS, DFS, Dijkstra, Union Find, MST
- Dynamic Programming - Fibonacci, 0/1 Knapsack, LCS
- Heaps - Min/Max Heap, Kth Largest
- Tries - Insert, Search, Prefix Matching
