Data Structures & Algorithms

In the process of becoming or practicing as a web application developer, it's easy to lose sight of Computer Science.

This collection of exercises and experiments seeks to help you build an understanding of those foundations.

Local Setup

• Fork this repo
• Clone your forked repo
• cd data_structures_and_algorithms
• Set the remote
  • git remote add upstream https://github.com/turingschool/data_structures_and_algorithms.git

If there have been changes to this main repo - you can pull them down in the following way

• Make sure you are on a master branch, with no uncommitted work (makes this easier)
• git fetch upstream master

• binary trees - README|Ruby|JavaScript
• Pathfinding Algorithm with A* - README|Ruby?
• luhn algorithm (checksumming) - README|Ruby
• graphs - README
• linked lists - README|Ruby|JavaScript
