Algorithms: Sorting and Searching Course

Brought by: Treehouse

Overview

This course will look at algorithms in two categories: sorting and searching. We'll implement well-known sorting algorithms like selection sort, quicksort, and merge sort. You'll also learn basic search algorithms like sequential search and binary search.

What you'll learn

  • Recursion
  • Sorting algorithms
  • Searching algorithms
  • Big O notation
